Company mission
Render's mission is to empower every developer and business to move fast and focus on what matters most to them.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for candidates with high integrity, low ego, and an insatiable drive to learn
- 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
Desirable
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- Deliver new features and user experience improvements to make the Render platform more powerful and valuable to our users
- 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
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.
Render was founded by Anurag Goel, one of Stripe's founding engineers. The company's developer platform allows teams to build websites and apps quickly and at scale. Render has raised impressive funding, and the capital has accelerated the development and roll-out of a number of innovative new tools and features, including a free plan for web services and databases. This will improve access to Render's platform, and help to further scale its user base.
Render's main challenge will be 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 rolled out regularly, and competitive price. If it can maintain this, Render stands to make impressive gains in the coming years.
