Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation.

As a Premium Support Engineering Manager at Replit, you’ll build and lead a high-performing team responsible for delivering fast, technically deep, and reliable support to our most valuable customers, from high-volume Pro users to Enterprise accounts.

You will serve as a founding leader in your region, helping establish how Premium Support operates, scales, and partners cross-functionally. This is a player-coach role where you’ll both lead a team and stay close to the work, directly engaging in complex cases, guiding escalations, and setting the standard for technical excellence and customer experience.

Replit is at the forefront of AI-driven software development, and how we support customers is constantly evolving. You’ll play a critical role in shaping how Premium Support adapts to new products, new customer expectations, and AI-assisted workflows, operating effectively in ambiguity and driving clarity for your team.

You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Sales, and Support Operations to ensure Premium customers receive exceptional service, while also scaling systems, processes, and insights that improve the broader platform.

• Serve as the escalation lead for critical or sensitive issues, coordinating closely with Product and Engineering to drive rapid resolution.

• Lead incident communication for Premium customers, ensuring updates are clear, timely, and build trust under pressure.

• Build and refine processes, playbooks, and tooling that enable scalable, high-quality Premium Support in a fast-evolving environment.

• Partner with Sales and Customer teams to align on customer expectations, onboarding, and ongoing support experience for Enterprise accounts.

• Identify trends across Premium users (Pro and Enterprise) and drive systemic improvements to product, tooling, and support workflows.

• Define and track key performance metrics (SLA adherence, CSAT, time to resolution, escalation volume), and provide insights to leadership.

• Recruit, develop, and mentor a high-performing team, fostering a culture of ownership, technical curiosity, and adaptability.
