About the role
- Our customers have created hundreds of thousands of services on our platform, and the numbers continue to accelerate.
- We leverage open source and industry-standard technologies, modifying and extending the core components to meet the unique reliability, performance, and scaling demands of our platform.
- We are looking for engineers with deep specialization in network infrastructure, particularly with experience in edge/ingress networking and Kubernetes networking internals.
Responsibilities
- Own Render's core network infrastructure across multiple data centers and cloud providers. Shape how networking evolves as Render rapidly scales.
- Design and build customer-facing networking capabilities that give users greater flexibility in how their services connect, communicate, and how traffic is routed.
- Drive performance and reliability improvements through systematic profiling and tuning.
- Partner with engineers across the company to build a platform that is stable, predictable, and secure.
- Experience building and operating traffic routing systems (e.g. load balancers, ingress, proxies) at scale.
- Own Render's core network infrastructure across multiple data centers and cloud providers.
- We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.
Requirements
- At least 6 years of experience building and operating large-scale networking or infrastructure systems.
- Experience with Kubernetes networking internals (e.g. kube-proxy, CNI plugins, service routing) or similar container networking technology.
- Experience with Linux networking internals (e.g. routing, netfilter/iptables/nftables, conntrack) in production environments.
- Strong experience designing, debugging, and operating distributed systems.
- Experience planning and executing high-risk changes with minimal downtime.
- Experience with eBPF or advanced Linux kernel networking.
Benefits

- 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.
