Software Engineer (React, Node)

About Replo

Today there’s millions of e-commerce businesses built on platforms like Shopify but developing websites for them is still a terrible experience. Engineers have to be involved in every change and can’t even use basic frameworks like React.

Our product is a drag-and-drop editor for visually building React applications, starting with e-commerce. It’s backed by our super-flexible content management system and commerce APIs which integrates with 3rd-party platforms, including product, subscription, and user-defined data.

Our founders have worked together for 10+ years and previously held principal engineer + management roles at companies like Uber, Plangrid, Autodesk, and Yelp. Replo is backed by Y Combinator and folks in the e-commerce and open-source community, including the creator of NextJS.

Replo was founded by Yuxin and Noah in 2021. They've been friends since freshmen year studying Computer Science at Cal. They've raised over $4.2M from Figma Ventures, YCombinator, Infinity Ventures, MAGIC Fund, as well as the founders of NextJS/Vercel. Noah and Yuxin previously held senior management/principal engineering roles at Uber, Plangrid, Yelp, etc.

At Replo, you won’t just be writing the next internal tool at a big-tech company. We’re building a highly distributed, scalable system to power the next-generation of online commerce. If this sounds interesting to you, we’d love to chat!

Location Preferences:

We're open to remote positions, but for this role, we prefer if you're located in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, or within +/- 3 hours of these timezones.

The Position

Build products across our stack (using React, Typescript, and more) that enable our customers to build differentiated user experiences online.

Work with the other engineers on our team to execute on projects big and small together (from fixing bugs and improving the usability of the Replo Editor, to creating an SSR publishing flow for Replo components).

Collaborate directly with our customers to ship stable, maintainable code while iterating as fast as possible.

Hopefully have a blast working with us 😇.

Requirements

Looking for someone who

• Has experience building performant frontend web applications (at least 2 years of professional experience)

• Is experienced in Typescript, React, HTML, CSS
• Understands the value of writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation
• Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points

Bonus points if you have

• Experience in Python or other programming languages, or interest in learning

Our Hiring Process

1. Intro Call. You'll chat with Noah, our co-founder and CTO, so we can learn more about your background and experience and determine whether Replo would be a great fit.
2. Programming Screen. You'll do a 1-hour pair-programming exercise with one of our engineers where you'll implement a feature for a small example app. The goal will be to get insight into your problem-solving ability and learn more about how you think about programming and your experience with React and frontend technologies
3. Virtual "On-site". You'll do two more interviews - another engineering/programming exercise and a non-coding interview with our other co-founder. After this, it's reference checks and offer stage!
