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. 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.
Job Responsibility:
Drive Product Excellence: Define and execute a vision for world-class infrastructure products (Postgres, Redis, ValKey), ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability that exceeds customer expectations
Lead and Develop the Team: Inspire, coach, and grow a team of high-performing engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, creativity, and ownership
Create the Strategy and Roadmap: Collaborate with leadership and customers to identify market opportunities, prioritize product development, and build a roadmap for future "Keystone" offerings
Build Operational Efficiency: Optimize team processes to balance innovation and technical debt management, while maintaining operational excellence and minimizing interruptions
Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner closely with product management, customers, and internal teams to understand needs, align priorities, and ensure delivery of impactful features and solutions
Requirements:
10+ years of software engineering experience
5+ years in management roles including managing and hiring managers
Deep expertise in infrastructure technologies, particularly databases (Postgres, Redis) and distributed systems, with a track record of building scalable, reliable solutions
Ability to balance long-term technical strategy, technical debt, and urgent enablement of product delivery with optimism and energy
Ability to draw creative solutions from an expert team, and realize maximum business impact
Excellent ability to communicate complex technical ideas with clarity and precision in written and verbal modes
Nice to have:
Familiarity with infrastructure-as-a-service or software-as-a-service markets, including their competitive dynamics and customer expectations
A track record of successful collaboration with sales, marketing, and customer support teams to drive adoption and retention
