Engineering Manager, Expansion

Описание вакансии

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 4.5 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 $257M, 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 an Engineering Manager, Expansion, you will lead a team responsible for building the platform capabilities and critical customer experiences that enable customers to scale successfully on Render.

This team will own and build foundational systems such as APIs and integrations, identity and access management, compliance, and key product experiences like CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows. These capabilities help customers adopt Render in more advanced environments and operate reliably as their usage grows.

You will operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and infrastructure—shaping systems and experiences that make Render extensible, secure, scalable, and intuitive to use. This includes building robust platform primitives, improving critical workflows, and enabling customers to grow with confidence on the platform.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow a team of engineers responsible for platform capabilities and critical customer experiences that support customer expansion and scale
• Own a significant portion of the platform and user experience, contributing to areas such as:

+ APIs and integrations ecosystem

+ Identity and access management (IAM), roles, and permissions

+ Compliance and enterprise readiness features

+ CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and operational tooling

• Define and evolve the systems and workflows that enable customers to:

+ Integrate Render into their development and operational workflows

+ Manage teams, permissions, and environments securely

+ Deploy and operate services reliably at scale

• Build and scale foundational systems with a focus on reliability, extensibility, security, and usability
• Partner closely with Product and Design to align roadmap with customer and platform needs
• Collaborate with other engineering teams to ensure seamless integration across the platform
• Make and guide key architectural decisions for long-term platform evolution
• Balance long-term platform investments with iterative improvements to customer-facing workflows
• Foster a culture of ownership, quality, and operational excellence
• Hire and develop engineers as the team grows

What We’re Looking For

• Proven track record of leading teams building customer-facing product experiences in complex technical domains
• Strong technical background with the ability to guide the design of scalable, reliable product systems and workflows
• Experience building products on top of underlying platform capabilities such as CI/CD, IAM, compliance, APIs, or deployment systems
• Experience managing and developing engineers, including hiring and performance management
• Ability to operate in ambiguous, cross-functional environments and bring clarity to complex problem spaces
• Experience partnering closely with Product, Design, and other engineering teams
• Strong product instincts and the ability to translate technical capabilities into intuitive customer experiences
• Clear ability to connect engineering investments to customer adoption, usability, and business impact

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience working on developer-facing product experiences or technical workflows
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems, deployment workflows, IAM, or enterprise product capabilities
• Experience building products that depend on APIs, integrations, or platform subsystems
• Background in developer platforms, DevTools, or complex B2B SaaS products
• We value diverse paths and experiences. If you’ve built scalable systems, led strong teams, or bring a unique perspective on enabling developers and teams to operate effectively at scale—we’d love to hear from you

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
