About the role
- We're looking for a software engineer with a strong identity and security focus to join our Expansion team.
- This is not a security operations or compliance role.
Responsibilities
- Design and ship authentication and authorization systems for users, agents, and services including credential scoping, SSO, SCIM provisioning and fine-grained permission models.
- Own the security experience across the stack, from the interfaces used to manage features through to the APIs, data models and systems behind them.
- Design shared auth APIs and primitives, then work closely with Product, Design, Security, and other Render teams to drive adoption.
- A track record of taking ambiguous projects from design through production while working with product, design, and engineers in other parts of the company.
- This is not a security operations or compliance role. You'll own changes across Render's platform and think carefully about how to make security features feel built in, not bolted on.
- We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience shipping and operating production systems.
- You are comfortable working through API, data-model, caching, and migration tradeoffs.
- You can balance security and product tradeoffs.
- Hands-on experience with OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM, JWTs or other authentication methods.
- Experience with multi-tenant authorization models such as RBAC, ABAC, or ReBAC, including policy engines or fine-grained authorization systems.
- Experience with workload identity, short-lived credentials, secrets management, privileged access, or security controls for services and agents.
Benefits
- 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.
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.
- Build the controls and audit trails customers use to define, enforce and understand how people, services and agents act within their systems.
- Operate authentication and authorization systems that customers and other teams depend on, including observability, safe rollouts, incident response, and on-call.
- You'll help build the authentication, authorization, and access-management primitives that Render's customers depend on including SSO, RBAC, audit logging, scoped credentials and SCIM provisioning.
