You will build internal tooling for secure access to resources and implement detection and monitoring systems for vulnerabilities. Additionally, you will analyze security issues and work with developers to educate them on secure design patterns. | Candidates should have 6+ years of experience in software engineering or security, with a focus on designing secure applications and tools. Strong incident leadership and a sense of ownership are essential, along with empathy towards team members and customers. | At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications.

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 3 million developers worldwide and continues to grow rapidly. In January 2025, we raised $80M in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $157M, 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.
