Job description

Render is hiring a remote candidate for Staff Product Designer - Agent Experience. This is a full time position. Work location: USA. The role typically involves technologies such as Rust, REST, Prototyping, Medical, MEAN, Product Designer.

At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. Our mission is to eliminate the tradeoff between the power of hyperscalers and the simplicity of developer-friendly platforms—so teams can ship fast, scale reliably, and focus on their product, not infrastructure. Unlike complex hyperscalers or ephe... Render offers a developer-first experience with persistent compute, dynamic autoscaling, built-in orchestration, and observability, allowing teams to launch, scale, and manage real-world applications without writing infrastructure code or managing servers. Whether you're building LLM-powered applications, scalable SaaS products, or async processing pipelines, Render empowers teams to move fast and scale confidently from MVP to millions of users. Our platform is trusted by over 6 million developers worldwide and continues to grow rapidly. In February 2026, we raised an additional $100M in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $257M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive—designed for the speed of modern AI development.

We’re a diverse and talented team that values craft, velocity, and user experience. If you’re excited to help shape the future of the intelligent cloud and empower developers everywhere, we’d love to hear from you.

APPLYING TO RENDER

We're seeking candidates who possess high integrity, humility, and an insatiable drive to learn. Through reasoned discussions and continuous feedback, we strive to improve both individually and collectively. We foster an environment of mutual trust and respect, empowering effective debate to achieve the best outcomes for our customers and team. We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups in the tech community to apply and understand that not all successful candidates will meet each requirement listed. Our interview process is unique to each role, and we value the candidate experience just as much as our customer experience. We hope your conversations with us reflect a thoughtful process that is illuminative, enjoyable, and respectful of your time.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR 7+ years of product design experience, ideally on developer tools, infrastructure, APIs, or another technical, credibility-driven product.

We may have worked as a product designer, a designer who codes, or something harder to label — the title matters less than the work. At this level, we expect someone who has owned a major surface or product area end to end and set the direction others built against. Craft that spans GUI and non-GUI surfaces. You have an eye for detail that borders on obsessive — the wording of an error, the shape of a command, the structure of an API response, the spacing of a dashboard — and you're as rigorous about a CLI message or an SDK method as you are about a screen. Your portfolio shows strong web UI work alongside text-first thinking: command design, API ergonomics, MCP/SDK design, docs-as-experience, or conversational interfaces. You design the whole journey, not a surface at a time. Your portfolio shows end-to-end experiences — a user carried coherently across interface boundaries, CLI to API to SDK to dashboard and back — where you designed the model once and expressed it everywhere it appears, rather than polishing one surface in isolation. A genuine point of view on what AI-native products mean for design — including how a product should show up to an agent, and not only to a person. Comfort near code. You can read it, prototype with it, and collaborate with engineers without a translation layer in between. The judgment to define quality where no established playbook exists, and the rigor to hold that bar once you've set it. Clear, direct communication and cross-org influence. You can make the case for AX to technical and non-technical partners alike, in rooms where it's easy to treat it as purely an engineering concern — and you can align product, engineering, and leadership around a direction without formal authority over them.

NICE-TO-HAVES

Experience designing or shipping a CLI, SDK, API, or MCP surface used at scale. Experience designing agent-facing documentation, Blueprints, Skills, or other material intended to teach a model how to operate a system. Familiarity with OAuth, scoped tokens, or least-privilege access models — or an appetite to make permissions feel humane. Hands‑on experience building with coding agents or LLM-driven tooling, with a view on where the agent loop breaks down today. Design-engineering literacy: motion, prototyping, or front‑end fluency. Experience evolving a developer‑first product toward larger teams and enterprises without losing the original audience. Writing, talks, or side projects that show your craft and point of view on developer experience. This is a new category, and nobody has all the answers yet — including us. If you're the kind of designer who's curious enough to figure things out, ship, learn what's wrong, and try again, we'd love to hear from you. If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need.
