Responsibilities
- - Design and build tools to support concurrent agent execution - Make test feedback fast enough to live inside an agent's loop, where slow or flaky runs compound across every attempt.
Requirements
- At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications.
- 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.
- 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.
- Experience driving cultural and process changes to make engineering teams more effective. - Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping, maintaining, and debugging production systems. - Proficiency in Go (or a strong willingness to ramp quickly, it's our primary language). - Hands-on
- experience with Kubernetes or similar container orchestration. - Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (yup, Terraform). - A bias toward measurement: you instrument what you build and let data tell you whether you actually made things faster. - You empathize deeply with engineers, fixing developer pain points in an elegant and sustainable manner is something that resonates deeply with you. NICE-TO-HAVES -
- experience at meaningful scale - Bazel, Concourse, and GitHub workflows are old friends.
- - Familiarity with observability tools like Datadog, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
- - Comfort working close to the metal - Linux, containers, kubernetes - you get your hands very dirty.
- - Understanding that the question isn't "AI pilled vs AI skeptic", but rather where to use it as an accelerant, and where human context must come first.
Benefits
- 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.
- BENEFITS - 4 weeks of paid vacation. - 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents to bond with a newly born, adopted, or fostered child.
