Summary

We had the idea for Replit in Jordan, launched as a startup in New York, and incorporated as a company in San Mateo. The US gave us the infrastructure, the capital, and network to launch our business, but we want to expand globally. We're now offering global routing, with compute regions in Mumbai, India and London, England, making us a global service. This change reduces latency for users worldwide, allowing them to code more efficiently. Replit is also expanding its hiring to become a globally distributed company, with employees able to work from anywhere. The company requires some overlap with PST working hours, but otherwise allows flexibility in location.
