What the job involves

Own Render's core infrastructure across multiple data centers and regions

Plan and architect for rapidly increasing scale
Debug issues at all levels in our infrastructure stack
Improve the performance and reliability of our infrastructure through increased observability, load testing, and chaos engineering

Our take

Without the right infrastructure, building applications and other products can be a slow and painstaking process. Render solves this problem with its unified cloud services platform, a developer platform that allows teams to build websites and apps quickly and at scale.

Render has raised impressive funding, which has allowed it to develop and roll-out a number of innovative tools and features, including a free plan for web services and databases. This improves access to Render's platform, and helps to further scale its user base.

Render's main challenge is competing with large-scale legacy players, including the "big three": Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. However, so far Render has held its own, largely thanks to its superior flexibility, innovative modern features and competitive price.
