Job description

Overview

At Render, we're dedicated to building a powerful and user-friendly cloud that simplifies hosting for every developer and team. Our platform supports a wide range of applications, from simple static sites to complex multi-service architectures. By offering the flexibility of traditional cloud providers without their associated complexity and maintenance challenges, we enable our users to concentrate on product development instead of managing servers.

Our team is a diverse and talented group addressing universal challenges of software development. We prioritize rapid iteration while maintaining a strong focus on user experience, craft, and reliability. This commitment drives us to improve continually. Our organic, product-led growth has attracted over 2.5 million developers, with rapid growth of new developers signing up every month. Our customers trust Render for our reliable and scalable cloud with enterprise-grade capabilities, fully managed datastores, and advanced security and compliance features.

In January 2025, we reached a significant milestone by raising $80 million in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $157M. This investment enables us to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive, while catering to the evolving needs of the AI era.

About the role

Render's mission is to eliminate the undifferentiated work that goes into building software products by offering an easy-to-use, powerful cloud platform for developer teams of all sizes.

By joining us at an early stage, you will design and build the cloud platform you've always wanted for yourself, and make decisions that will shape our product and company, directly impacting developers around the globe.

The challenge is in building the right user-facing features and abstractions that make simple application deployments effortless and complex application deployments possible. User experience is our primary focus and drives everything we do. As a product engineer at Render, you will take complete, end-to-end ownership of full stack projects. You should already have experience building products across the stack and have a keen understanding of databases, web frameworks, APIs, and multiple programming languages.

You will

• Build new products (e.g. new forms to make Render more powerful and valuable to our users. We are continuously building new and easier ways for our users to build their applications.)
• Collaborate closely with design, product, other engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Help evolve and mature the Render codebase and technology as the product scales and increases in complexity over time.
• Participate in team planning, roadmapping, and goal-setting.
• Help shape team culture and practices as the company scales.
• Participate in on-call responsibilities with the rest of your team.

We’re looking for someone who has

• 6+ years of professional experience shipping software. Bonus points if you’ve excelled at a small, high-growth startup.
• Experience collaborating with product and design stakeholders.
• Experience wearing multiple hats and working across the stack, both collaboratively and independently.
• Strong understanding of web frameworks, APIs, and databases, and experience working with multiple programming languages.
• Strong sense of ownership and ability to make pragmatic decisions about your work.

Nice-to-haves

• Familiarity with modern tooling for software build and deploy processes.
• Familiarity building for product-driven growth and modern enterprise audiences.
• Experience with any of the technologies the Render product runs on: Go, TypeScript, React, Kubernetes, Postgres, Terraform, Temporal.

Benefits

• Our openings span more than one career level. The starting salary for this role is between $170,000 and $290,000 USD. The provided salary depends on many factors, such as work experience and transferable skills, business needs and impact, level, and market demands.
• The opportunity is also eligible for equity with early exercise options and extended exercise windows.
• 4 weeks of paid vacation, available from day one.
• 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents to bond with a newly born, adopted, or fostered child. We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.
• Long-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans.
• 100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage for you and a dependent. FSAs available as well.
• Monthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies, etc.
• Monthly cell phone and internet subsidy.
• Commuter benefits for Renderers in the Bay Area, and home office stipends for remote Renderers.
• Continuous learning benefits & related support.
