Ghazi Masood, CRO at Replit, announced plans to hire over 200 employees in the next 12 months during a podcast interview on May 14, 2026. The expansion targets sales, engineering, and customer success roles, including non-traditional hires like former Marines and schoolteachers for account executive positions using an 80% hiring bar and 15-minute screening process. Replit rebuilt its go-to-market strategy with AI-native tools such as vibe-coded apps for revenue copilot and forecasting on top of Salesforce. The company grew revenue from $2 million to over $150 million in less than one year, projecting a $1 billion run rate by December 31, 2026. Automated SDRs failed initially, prompting a shift to fully agentic inbound triage by Q2 2026.
