About the role
- We're a diverse and talented team that values craft, velocity, and user experience.
- If you're excited to help shape the future of the intelligent cloud and empower developers everywhere, we'd love to hear from you.
- Our interview process is unique to each role, and we value the candidate experience just as much as our customer experience.
Responsibilities
- Drive prioritization across Render's data investments, balancing the leverage of foundational reliability work - replication, failover, storage performance - against near-term product and business needs, and being able to negotiate those tradeoffs.
- Partner deeply with Engineering & other Product teams to shape the technical direction of Render's data layer, ensuring architectural decisions optimize for durability, performance, and operational simplicity.
- Develop a strong, opinionated point of view on how managed Postgres needs to evolve to serve AI-native builders - from vector workloads and retrieval pipelines to databases that are spun up, branched, and torn down programmatically by agents at scale.
- Experience building AI agents or the data infrastructure that powers them.
- We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with Postgres internals, replication tooling, or the extension ecosystem (e.g., pgvector, PostGIS).

- 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.
Company info
- 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.
- Through reasoned discussions and continuous feedback, we strive to improve both individually and collectively.
- We foster an environment of mutual trust and respect, empowering effective debate to achieve the best outcomes for our customers and team.
- Deep developer empathy, for both internal engineering teams and our customers, and the technical depth to make sound architectural tradeoffs in collaboration with engineering.
