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 6 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 looking for a software engineer with a strong identity and security focus to join our Expansion team. You'll help build the authentication, authorization, and access-management primitives that Render's customers depend on including SSO, RBAC, audit logging, scoped credentials and SCIM provisioning. This is not a security operations or compliance role. You'll own changes across Render's platform and think carefully about how to make security features feel built in, not bolted on. You will design and ship authentication and authorization systems for users, agents, and services including credential scoping, SSO, SCIM provisioning and fine-grained permission models. Evolve Render's authorization model toward clear permissions and scopes for applications, environments, projects, and other platform resources. Own the security experience across the stack, from the interfaces used to manage features through to the APIs, data models and systems behind them. Build the controls and audit trails customers use to define, enforce and understand how people, services and agents act within their systems. Design shared auth APIs and primitives, then work closely with Product, Design, Security, and other Render teams to drive adoption. Operate authentication and authorization systems that customers and other teams depend on, including observability, safe rollouts, incident response, and on-call.
