We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to own the vision and roadmap for Render's datastores portfolio, with our Postgres offering at the center. You will define what a modern managed database experience looks like, including how database products will adapt to new state patterns from agents and how agents as users of state-keeping products should be accommodated. You'll drive the technical and strategic direction for Render Postgres and our broader data layer, working directly with your team and infrastructure engineering to shape architectural decisions. You'll engage with Render's customers and our product development teams to develop a deep understanding of their data needs and build conviction about where the datastores portfolio needs to go next. What You'll Do • Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Render's datastores, anchored on Postgres. Your scope spans provisioning and lifecycle management, high availability and disaster recovery, backups and point-in-time recovery, scaling and performance, connection management, and the extension ecosystem. • Drive prioritization across Render's data investments, balancing the leverage of foundational reliability work - replication, failover, storage performance - against near-term product and business needs, and being able to negotiate those tradeoffs. • Partner deeply with Engineering & other Product teams to shape the technical direction of Render's data layer, ensuring architectural decisions optimize for durability, performance, and operational simplicity. Databases are where customer trust is won or lost, so an instinct for reliability and data safety is essential. • Develop a strong, opinionated point of view on how managed Postgres needs to evolve to serve AI-native builders - from vector workloads and retrieval pipelines to databases that are spun up, branched, and torn down programmatically by agents at scale. • Set the standard for how developers experience data on Render, providing clear guidance, sensible defaults, and abstractions that make it easy for teams to run production databases with confidence - without needing a DBA on staff. We're looking for • 7+ years in Product Management, with the majority spent on databases, data infrastructure, developer tools, or platform products. • Familiarity with Postgres - its architecture, operational model, ecosystem, and the tradeoffs teams face running it in production. Bonus if you have strong perspective on how agentic workloads and AI-native applications are reshaping database usage patterns. • Deep developer empathy, for both internal engineering teams and our customers, and the technical depth to make sound architectural tradeoffs in collaboration with engineering. • A track record of taking ambiguous, high-stakes reliability and infrastructure problems and turning them into clear strategy and shipped outcomes. • Strong communication and storytelling skills. What would be nice to have but not required • Experience as a database engineer, DBA, or infrastructure engineer. • Hands-on experience with Postgres internals, replication tooling, or the extension ecosystem (e.g., pgvector, PostGIS). • Experience building AI agents or the data infrastructure that powers them. 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.
