We’re looking for an Employee Experience Lead who thinks like a host, operates like a founder, and sweats the details.
This role owns the in-office experience end-to-end—from how the space feels when you walk in, to the quality of coffee, to the energy during lunch. You’ll design an environment that supports deep work, spontaneous collaboration, and the kind of moments that make people want to be here.
Food, snacks, and beverages are not an afterthought at Replit—they’re part of how we bring people together. You’ll treat this like a product: curated, evolving, and deeply loved by the team.
This is a hands-on role for someone who has operated in startup environments and knows how to build systems from scratch while keeping quality high.
