Senior Compensation Strategy & Systems Manager

Compensation

Compensation is determined based on career level, with the base salary for this role ranging from $171K - $250K • Offers Equity

Role Summary

Replit is the world's most widely used AI coding platform, and as we scale, we're rebuilding how compensation works internally from the ground up. This role owns that. You'll go beyond traditional comp management to architect the systems, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled workflows that make fast, consistent, and high-quality compensation decisions possible at scale. It's a rare opportunity to bring a product and engineering mindset to a people function that most companies still run on spreadsheets.

Responsibilities

Compensation Strategy

• Evolve our compensation philosophy across cash and equity; design and maintain salary bands, leveling frameworks, and equity structures
• Ensure market competitiveness while partnering with Finance on cost and workforce planning

Systems & Data Architecture

• Partner with Data Science to define compensation data schemas, pipeline requirements, and unified data models that allow AI agents and internal tools to query compensation data seamlessly
• Own the compensation tech stack : build vs. buy decisions, HRIS/ATS/equity platform integrations, and security/permissioning standards

AI-Native Workflows

• Design and implement AI-enabled workflows for offers, merit, promotions, and market adjustments
• Build human-in-the-loop validation frameworks to audit AI-generated recommendations for bias, accuracy, and logic

Decision Support & Analytics

• Operate compensation planning cycles and generate first-pass recommendations for comp decisions
• Build dashboards and analytical frameworks covering market competitiveness, internal equity, retention risk, and workforce cost

What we're looking for

• 8+ years in compensation, total rewards, or related analytical roles , ideally at a high-growth tech company
• Deep expertise in salary bands, equity design, and market benchmarking (broad-based, sales, and executive)
• Strong systems thinker who can translate policy into scalable workflows and decision logic
• Product mindset , you think in terms of users, workflows, and iteration
• Comfortable partnering with Data/Engineering teams on data architecture and internal tooling
• High ownership; willing to operate hands-on

Nice to have: Experience at an AI-native company · Prior internal tools or engineering-adjacent work

Tools: Pave, Radford, Rippling, Lattice, Ashby, Carta, Google Sheets, internal AI/automation tooling

This role may not be a fit if

• You prefer operating within established compensation programs rather than building systems from scratch
• You think of compensation primarily as a cyclical process rather than a continuous system
• You rely heavily on manual analysis and spreadsheets without seeking automation
• You are uncomfortable making high-stakes decisions in ambiguous situations
• You prefer highly structured, process-heavy environments over speed and iteration
• You are hesitant to adopt AI and new technologies to transform how work gets done
• You prefer managing large teams rather than operating as a high-impact builder

• Competitive Salary & Equity
• 401(k) Program with a 4% match ( _US Only_)
