Software Engineer, Infrastructure (all levels)

Render is building a modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications, aiming to eliminate the tradeoff between hyperscaler power and developer simplicity. The platform offers a developer-first experience with persistent compute, dynamic autoscaling, built-in orchestration, and observability, enabling teams to launch, scale, and manage applications without infrastructure code. Trusted by over 6 million developers, Render secured $257M in funding to accelerate its vision. The company seeks engineers specializing in cloud infrastructure to design and build a secure, reliable, and performant cloud platform. This role involves improving architecture for faster container scheduling, developing AI workload support, enhancing internal traffic routing & load balancing, and building low-level primitives for parallel data processing. Responsibilities include owning core infrastructure across multiple data centers, driving innovation, planning for rapid scale, debugging issues, improving performance and reliability through observability and chaos engineering, collaborating with peers, and participating in on-call rotations.
