About the role

We're looking for a Senior/Staff Data Engineer to join our growing Data team and set the technical direction for the systems that power analytics, data science, and operational decision-making across Render. As we scale, you'll build and operate the pipelines, services, and infrastructure that make our data accurate, timely, and trusted.

  • Deep expertise in modern cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery, Databricks, or Snowflake, including data modeling, query performance, cost management, and access control
  • Strong Python and SQL skills, with hands-on experience building reliable ingestion and ELT pipelines and maintainable data models
  • Experience operating orchestration platforms such as Prefect, Airflow, or Dagster, including responsibility for deployments, upgrades, workers, and operational reliability
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and infrastructure as code, using Terraform or equivalent tools to build predictable, maintainable systems
  • Experience building cloud applications or backend services, including APIs, ingestion services, and event-driven workflows
More about this role

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.

Our platform is trusted by over 7 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 $260M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive—designed for the speed of modern AI development.
