Software Engineer, Product

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.

What You'll Do

• Build new products. These are new services 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.

What We're Looking For

• 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, experience working with multiple programming languages, and working in a distributed system.
• 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.
