Amjad Masad
A computer science graduate of Princess Sumaya University for Technology in Jordan, Masad started his career as the first engineering hire at Codecademy, where he helped build the early online learning platform. He then joined Facebook as a software engineer, contributing to core JavaScript infrastructure projects including Babel, Jest, and React Native. That experience building developer tools at scale directly informed the founding of Replit in 2016. Under his leadership, Replit has grown from a browser-based coding sandbox into a full AI-powered software creation platform valued at over $3 billion, used by developers at 85% of Fortune 500 companies.
