The posting

At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. 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.

Unlike complex hyperscalers or ephemeral edge/serverless solutions, Render offers a developer-first experience with persistent compute, dynamic autoscaling, built-in orchestration, and observability, allowing teams to launch, scale, and manage real-world applications without writing infrastructure code or managing servers. 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.

Our platform is trusted by over 7 million developers worldwide and continues to grow rapidly. In February 2026, we raised an additional $100M in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $260M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive—designed for the speed of modern AI development.

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.

APPLYING TO RENDER

We're seeking candidates who possess high integrity, humility, and an insatiable drive to learn. 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.

We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups in the tech community to apply and understand that not all successful candidates will meet each requirement listed.

Our interview process is unique to each role, and we value the candidate experience just as much as our customer experience. We hope your conversations with us reflect a thoughtful process that is illuminative, enjoyable, and respectful of your time.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Senior Engineering Manager for Agent Platform & UX, you will lead two teams reimagining Render's onboarding and activation experience for both humans and AI agents.

One team owns the experience a person sees the first time they come to Render: signup, onboarding, activation, and what drives them to adopt more of the platform. The other team builds the equivalent experience for agents, which reach Render through APIs rather than the UI, integrating with providers like Codex, Claude, and Cursor so agents can use Render the way humans do. You'll take an already-forming org through its next stage of growth.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead and grow two teams, UX (human onboarding and activation) and Agent Platform (the equivalent experience for agents via programmatic interfaces like the MCP, CLI, API, SDK, and Blueprints)

- Own the roadmap for Render's self-serve user journey, from first touch through activation, initial monetization, usage expansion, new feature adoption, and PQL graduation

- Drive the agent-facing side of the platform: build the API-driven experience that lets agents integrate with and operate on Render

- Partner with the dedicated product and design partners on both teams to align roadmap with customer, growth, and platform needs

- Hire and develop engineers to support planned team growth, while keeping both teams' identities and focus areas clear as they scale

- Make key architectural and product decisions, balancing long-term platform investment against iterative improvements to onboarding and activation

- Build a strong performance management and career development practice for a team that already includes senior ICs

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Strong people leadership - the top priority for this role

- Hands-on enough to review code, prototype, and contribute directly when it helps the team

- Comfort operating in ambiguity, with adaptability and a growth mindset

- Proven experience building and scaling more than one team, ideally growing a group from a handful of engineers into a larger org

- Experience managing and developing senior (IC5+) engineers, including hiring and performance management

- Ability to partner closely with product and design without needing to fill those functions yourself

- Strong product instincts, with the ability to connect engineering investment to growth and activation outcomes

- Background from a startup preferred, though experience at a larger company can work too. What matters is the ability to operate at pace

NICE-TO-HAVES

- Prior growth-focused engineering experience (onboarding, activation, funnel optimization)

- Experience building developer- or agent-facing product experiences, and integrating with AI coding tools such as Codex, Claude, or Cursor

- Background in developer platforms or DevTools

- Experience helping a team split or reorganize as it scales into multiple teams

If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need.

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. We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.

- 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. FSAs and HSAs are available as well.

- Monthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies, etc.

- Monthly cell phone and internet subsidy.

- Commuter benefits for Renders in the Bay Area, and home office stipends for remote Renders.

- Continuous learning benefits & related support.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
