Render - Engineering Manager, Keystones

• Estimated Salary: $212K – $290K • Offers Equity • Our openings span more than one career level. The provided salary depends on many factors, such as work experience and transferable skills, business needs and impact, location, and market demands. • 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. • 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. • Among our most successful and critical products are features we call “Keystones”: they are the backbone to our users’ services and ability to scale. We aim for these to be world-class offerings, with superior reliability, performance, and completeness. Currently these include Postgres, Redis, and ValKey. • This small team has a laser focus on excellence and creative thinking to outpace a broad market of competitors. We are looking for someone to lead this team with energy and business acumen, and build more critical Keystones for our customers. • This opportunity is also eligible for equity with early-exercise options and extended exercise windows. • 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. • Render is an equal-opportunity employer.
