Did the Replit onsite (remote, via video) for a senior infrastructure role back in March 2026. Four rounds across one day, roughly 4.5 hours with short breaks. Here's the breakdown:
Round 1: Coding. Two problems, live coding in Replit (yes, you interview inside the product). Both medium. I got a systems-flavored coding question about process scheduling and a string processing one. 60 minutes.
Round 2: System design. Deep on distributed execution and sandboxing. I've done system design at larger companies and this one was more focused and more technical. They had opinions. When I proposed something, they pushed back with real constraints, not just hypotheticals.
Round 3: Behavioral. 45 minutes, one interviewer. Focused on ownership and judgment. Standard STAR questions plus a few that felt like they were looking for intellectual honesty: things going wrong, decisions you'd reverse.
Round 4: Hiring manager. Half engineering, half culture/fit. They asked about how I work when I don't agree with a technical direction. Also asked what kind of problems I get bored by, which is an interesting filter question.
Debrief took about 5 business days. Then another couple days to get to the verbal offer.
Two things that stood out compared to other small-to-mid-stage companies I've done: the interviewers clearly had deep technical context. Nobody was reading from a script. And they seemed genuinely curious, not just evaluating.
Total comp discussed was in the range of $180k base + equity package. Fully remote. I didn't accept (took something else) but the loop itself was one of the better ones I've done in this cycle.
