You won't wait for assignments,you'll identify the highest-leverage problems facing our engineering organisation and own them end-to-end. You'll deliver multi-quarter initiatives that span teams and functions, facilitate tough prioritisation and technical direction decisions, and establish processes that multiply the effectiveness of everyone around you.

This role requires someone who combines technical depth with strategic vision, thrives in ambiguity, and has a proven track record of turning complex, open-ended challenges into executable programs that move the business forward.

We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Technical Program Manager role:

Technical Skills:

• Evaluate technical architectures and system designs across teams, identifying risks and trade-offs while ensuring programs are built on sound technical foundations; leverage your engineering background to stay close to implementation details, challenge assumptions, and maintain credibility with senior engineers

• Identify when projects need course correction or are technically infeasible, applying deep technical judgment to influence direction and keep initiatives on track

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Lead multi-quarter programs spanning multiple teams with area-wide or org-wide impact, establishing clear roadmaps and aligning stakeholders on technical direction and delivery milestones,often under tight deadlines with significant consequences of failure or requiring novel solutions to ambiguous problems

• Proactively identify high-leverage opportunities across the engineering organisation and act on them; facilitate difficult prioritisation decisions and technical tradeoffs, balancing long-term vision with immediate business needs

Organisational Knowledge:

• Maintain a holistic view of engineering and company goals, using judgment to optimise for the wider organisation rather than locally optimal outcomes; anticipate challenges and influence technical direction across teams to execute on your vision, even when facing potential misalignment

• Understand the needs and constraints across engineering and business teams, identifying gaps in capabilities, processes, or tooling and working with partner teams to prioritise their development

Communication and Influence:

• Build deep cross-functional relationships and facilitate the right conversations to reach decisions despite conflicting viewpoints; tailor your message across audiences,from engineers to executives,presenting clearly and concisely at the right level of detail

• Exercise influence without over-leveraging your position; disagree and commit when necessary to move critical priorities forward, creating alignment even in challenging organisational dynamics

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• 5+ years in technical program management with demonstrated progression into leading large, ambiguous initiatives that span multiple teams and quarters

• Strong software engineering foundation,you've built systems, understand technical architecture, and can engage credibly with senior engineers on implementation details

• Track record of proactively identifying high-impact opportunities, defining the strategy to address them, and driving execution without waiting for direction

• Proven ability to facilitate tough decisions: helping teams reprioritise work, recommending when to end projects that aren't working, or influencing technical approaches when necessary

• Experience introducing org-wide processes or changes, building the business case, and driving adoption across teams

• Demonstrated ability to operate in highly ambiguous environments, defining both the problem and the solution when the path forward is unclear

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• Experience in fintech, financial services, or highly regulated environments where compliance and security are critical

• Track record of mentoring or coaching other TPMs or engineers, spreading knowledge through talks, blog posts, or documentation

• Proficiency in scripting or programming (Python, Go, JavaScript) to prototype solutions or build tooling when needed

• You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer, Design System to own and evolve Replit's design system end-to-end. This role sits at the intersection of product design, design engineering, and platform thinking, with direct impact on both internal velocity and external enterprise adoption.

The Role

As Staff Product Designer for the Design System, you will be the primary owner and steward of Replit's design system—its components, patterns, principles, and governance. You'll work closely with product designers, engineers, and design engineers to ensure the system scales across the product, supports enterprise use cases (including customer-integrated design systems), and enables fast, high-quality product development.

What You'll Do

Own the Design System

• Lead the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Replit's design system.
• Define and evolve core components, patterns, tokens, and interaction standards used across the product.
• Ensure the system supports a wide range of surfaces, from core product UI to Agent flows, enterprise templates, and customer-integrated design systems.

Enable Product & Enterprise Scale

• Partner with product designers and engineers to ensure new features are built on system primitives.
• Design for extensibility: support custom stacks, enterprise design systems, and customer-specific theming without fragmentation.
• Improve discoverability, clarity, and usability of system-driven UI across key entry points.

Partner Deeply with Engineering

• Collaborate closely with design engineers on implementation details, tradeoffs, and system architecture.
• Influence code-level decisions that affect system consistency and adoption.
• Help shape tooling, Storybook usage, and contribution workflows so the system is easy to use and maintain.

Set Standards & Governance

• Establish clear contribution models, review processes, and decision-making frameworks for system changes.
• Act as a design system “domain owner,” providing guidance and sign-off on system-level decisions.
• Document principles, patterns, and rationale so decisions scale beyond individuals.

Raise the Bar for Design Quality

• Identify inconsistencies, duplication, and fragmentation across the product and drive systematic improvements.
• Balance speed with craft—knowing when to be opinionated and when to enable flexibility.
• Advocate for system-level thinking across product, design, and engineering.

What We're Looking For

Experience & Skills

• 10+ years of product design experience, with deep ownership of a design system at scale.
• Strong systems thinker: you see patterns, abstractions, and long-term implications.
• Experience collaborating closely with engineers on component APIs, implementation details, and constraints.
• Comfort operating at multiple levels—from high-level principles to pixel- and interaction-level decisions.

Design System Expertise

• Proven track record of designing and evolving complex component libraries.
• Experience supporting multiple products, teams, or customer-specific variations from a shared system.
• Strong opinions on system governance, contribution models, and adoption strategies.

Ways of Working

• Highly collaborative, with the ability to influence without relying on hierarchy.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and incomplete information.
• Pragmatic: you know when to ship, when to refactor, and when to say no.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with developer-focused products or tools.
• Familiarity with design tokens, theming, and cross-platform systems.
• Background in or strong partnership with design engineering.

Why This Role Matters

Replit's design system is no longer just an internal efficiency tool—it's a core part of our enterprise value proposition and a foundation for how customers build with us. This role has outsized impact on product quality, team velocity, and how Replit scales to serve thousands of designers and developers using their own design systems inside our platform.
