About the RoleRender's mission is to eliminate the undifferentiated work that goes into building software products by offering an easy-to-use, powerful cloud platform for developer teams of all sizes.
Our Postgres team operates and maintains our Postgres product for a very large number of our millions of users. Running stateful services at scale is challenging, and we continue to add new features as both Postgres and our customers' needs evolve.
User experience is our primary focus and drives everything we do. As a product engineer at Render, you will take complete, end-to-end ownership of full stack projects. You should already have experience building a Postgres platform.

- Collaborate closely with design, product, other engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Help evolve and mature the Render Postgres product as it scales and increases in complexity over time.
- Participate in team planning, roadmapping, and goal-setting.
- Help shape team culture and practices as the company scales.
- Help evolve the Postgres product with new capabilities.
- Participate in on-call responsibilities with the rest of your team.
What We're Looking For- 6+ years of professional experience shipping software. Bonus points if you've excelled at a small, high-growth startup.
- Experience collaborating with product and design stakeholders.
- Strong sense of ownership and ability to make pragmatic decisions about your work.
- Comfort with working in a distributed system.
- Experience operating Postgres at scale.
- Familiarity with modern tooling for software build and deploy processes.
Nice-to-haves- Experience wearing multiple hats and working across the stack, both collaboratively and independently.
- Strong understanding of web frameworks, APIs, and databases, and experience working with multiple programming languages.
- Familiarity building for product-driven growth and modern enterprise audiences.
- Experience with any of the technologies the Render product runs on: Go, Typescript, React, Kubernetes, Postgres, Terraform, Temporal.
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.
