About the role

You'll work across the entire engineering org, identify where friction lives, and remove it, measurably.

Invest in build and dependency tooling, caching, incremental builds, and monorepo ergonomics, to keep iteration tight as the codebase grows.
Accelerate our CI/CD pipelines - cutting build, test, and deploy times while keeping the path to production safe and reversible.
Design and build tools to support concurrent agent execution
Instrument the engineering org with meaningful signals (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, time to restore) and turn them into action.
Build and participate in an on-call rotation as the team takes ownership of critical systems.
Experience building and operating developer-facing tooling, CI/CD systems, or internal platforms that other engineers depend on every day.
As a Software Engineer on Developer Velocity, you'll design and build the internal platform, tooling, and automation that lets every Render engineer move quickly and safely.
We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.
At Render, we're building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications.
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.

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).
Familiarity with observability tools like Datadog, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
Comfort working close to the metal - Linux, containers, kubernetes - you get your hands very dirty.
Comfort working close to the metal

Make test feedback fast enough to live inside an agent's loop, where slow or flaky runs compound across every attempt.
Simplify and establish repeatable patterns
Reduce toil through automation, paving over repetitive workflows and manual steps wherever they slow people down.

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.
Long-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans.
100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage for you and a dependent.
Monthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies, etc.
Continuous learning benefits & related support.
Commuter benefits for Renders in the Bay Area, and home office stipends for remote Renders.

Make our test suites fast and trustworthy: parallelization, smart test selection, flaky-test detection, and better local/preview environments built on the same primitives our customers use.
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.
