So my old SSD failed so I need to put a new one in.
I don’t care to have a backup, I just want to start new so can I put the new blank SSD in the system and download the OS over WiFi directly without an external hard drive?

Thanks for asking Luke! If you don’t need any data swapped then you should be able to install a new ssd into the device and use internet recovery to reinstall Mac OS by pressing the command key + R at the same time but keep in mind that these devices use a proprietary connector and it’s not a normal m.2 or sata connection.
Best regards

So I can just put the new one in then where the old one was right and it should work so I shouldn’t need any connections?
Yes, Refer to this guide on ifixit MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 SSD Replacement . But, remember the drive slot is proprietary.
Here's a good reference The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs
