Job description

See job offer description.


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. Applying to Render 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

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role owning a recruiting function at a high-growth technology company.
  • Experience owning a large, complex hiring plan end to end – including workforce planning, capacity modeling, and executive alignment – at a company scaling from early to growth stage.
  • Strong analytical instincts: can build and use a capacity model, distinguish leading from lagging indicators, and design reporting that drives decisions rather than just documents outcomes.
  • A clear and operational philosophy on hiring bar – what exceptional talent looks like, how to calibrate a team around that standard, and how to protect it under pressure.
  • Proven ability to build and develop a recruiting team: setting goals, developing managers, maintaining engagement, and holding the team to high standards with care.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and influence skills – comfortable partnering with finance and executive leadership, setting real expectations, and delivering hard news clearly.
  • Track record of building recruiting systems and processes that produce predictable, high-quality outcomes at scale.

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 and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request accommodation. We encourage all who are interested to apply. We can’t wait to hear from you!
