With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation.\nAbout the role:\nMake Replit the single place where businesses can buy everything they need through their agents. As a Staff Software Engineer on Replit’s Money team, you’ll set technical direction and build the commerce platform that lets users discover, evaluate, purchase, and manage the products and services they need to build and run their businesses-without leaving Replit.\nReplit already enables businesses to accept payments through integrations such as Stripe. This role builds on that foundation to expand what businesses can buy and accomplish through Replit Agent. You’ll design commerce experiences that combine the simplicity consumers expect with the controls enterprises need, making agent-assisted purchasing useful, trustworthy, and reliable.\nYou’ll own architecture and lead cross-team delivery across merchant and service-provider integrations, agent tools, purchasing workflows, and the lifecycle after a transaction. The challenge goes beyond executing a payment: agents need to understand what a user wants, present clear choices and costs, act within delegated authority, and verify that the purchase delivered the intended outcome. You’ll stay hands-on with design and code while aligning partners, mentoring engineers, and turning an ambitious product vision into incremental customer value.\nYou will:\nSet technical direction for Replit’s financial infrastructure, with an immediate focus on enterprise billing, spend controls, and financial correctness.\n\nBuild shared services for usage-based billing, pricing, credits, subscriptions, and entitlements so product teams can launch without rebuilding billing.\n\nAutomate enterprise contract lifecycles-from onboarding through amendments and renewals-keeping commercial terms, provisioned credits, and invoices in sync.\n\nBuild timely budget enforcement, alerts, and overrides that give customers control over spend without disrupting their hosted apps.\n\nMake AI usage understandable: attribute costs to the right customer, workspace, user, or agent, including delegated work without double-counting.\n\nBuild reconciliation and audit trails that make balances and invoices explainable and help Finance catch discrepancies before customers do.\n\nSimplify the billing stack through safe migrations that preserve balances, transaction history, and customer access.\n\nOwn production reliability through testing, observability, incident response, and safe recovery from duplicate events, delayed usage, and partial failures.\n\nStay hands-on while leading cross-team delivery, mentoring engineers, and partnering with Product, Finance, Sales, and Support.\n\nRequired skills and experience:\nA track record of Staff-level technical ownership: setting architecture and delivering complex initiatives across teams.\n\nDeep experience building and operating production backend or distributed systems.\n\nStrong fundamentals in API design, data modeling, databases, and event-driven architecture.\n\nSound judgment around transactions, consistency, concurrency, idempotency, and failure recovery.\n\nExperience evolving live systems and migrating data without compromising correctness or availability.\n\nProduct judgment that balances customer needs, delivery speed, and long-term system quality.\n\nClear communication with technical and non-technical partners, including translating business requirements into system behavior.\n\nHands-on leadership through implementation, design reviews, mentoring, and production ownership.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with billing, payments, subscriptions, credits, entitlements, or other financial systems.\n\nExperience with enterprise contracts, negotiated pricing, invoicing, or quote-to-cash automation.\n\nExperience with high-volume usage metering, pricing calculations, or low-latency spend controls.\n\nExperience building reconciliation, financial reporting, or auditable transaction histories with Finance and Accounting.\n\nExperience integrating billing, payment, or CRM platforms, with judgment about what to build versus buy.\n\nBonus Points:\nExperience with AI or cloud infrastructure billing, including variable costs and attribution across distributed workloads.\n\nExperience building customer-facing spend visibility, budgets, or internal tools that reduce manual billing work.\n\nExperience with cloud marketplace billing, payment recovery, or fraud and dispute workflows.\n\nFamiliarity with agentic commerce or delegated spending. These are additional strengths, not requirements.\n\nWhat we value:\nCustomer outcomes: success means a business can get what it needs through its agent, with clear costs and a verified result-not merely a completed API call.\n\nUser control and trust: agents act within explicit authority, surface consequential choices, and make purchases and ongoing commitments understandable.\n\nConsumer simplicity and enterprise readiness: straightforward experiences should coexist with the controls organizations need.\n\nEnd-to-end ownership: we own the experience from intent through purchase, fulfillment, and ongoing management.\n\nPragmatic technical leadership: we build on what exists, deliver incremental value, and invest in correctness and extensibility where they matter.\n\nClear collaboration: we document decisions, surface risks early, and help other teams and partners succeed.\n\nFull-Time Employee Benefits Include:\nCompetitive Salary & Equity\n401(k) Program with a 4% match (US Only)\nHealth, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance\nShort Term and Long Term Disability\nPaid Parental, Medical, Caregiver Leave\nFlexible Time Off (FTO) + Holidays\nCommuter Benefits (In-Office & US Only)\nMonthly Wellness Stipend\nAutonomous Work Environment\nIn Office Set-Up Reimbursement (In-Office Only)\nQuarterly Team Gatherings\nIn Office Amenities (In-Office Only)\nWant to learn more about what we are up to?\nSelf-driving Company\n\nReplit Agent at Scale\n\nAI Adoption\n\nBuild Open-Source Apps\n\nInterviewing + Culture at Replit\nOperating Principles\n\nReasons not to work at Replit\n\nTo achieve our mission of making programming more accessible around the world, we need our team to be representative of the world. We welcome your unique perspective and experiences in shaping this product. We encourage people from all kinds of backgrounds to apply, including and especially candidates from underrepresented and non-traditional backgrounds.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6586,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible time off","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Code Intelligence","AI Development Tools","Website Builders"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T18:38:29Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 29 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":29,"filings_prev_12m":5,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":201833,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":16}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":77,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T19:13:06Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":375000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/replit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/replit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T19:13:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4774,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2425},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2425"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Freplit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Freplit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Freplit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/replit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Freplit-staff-software-engineer-financial-infrastructure"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3977531}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"replit.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3977531},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
