As a Software Engineer on Developer Velocity, you'll design and build the internal platform, tooling, and automation that lets every Render engineer move quickly and safely. You'll drive changes in our local development environments, CI/CD pipelines, test infrastructure, and the metrics we use to understand and improve how we ship. You'll work across the entire engineering org, identify where friction lives, and remove it, measurably
Improve speed and reliability of early change feedback
Invest in build and dependency tooling, caching, incremental builds, and monorepo ergonomics, to keep iteration tight as the codebase grows
Accelerate our CI/CD pipelines - cutting build, test, and deploy times while keeping the path to production safe and reversible
Make our test suites fast and trustworthy: parallelization, smart test selection, flaky-test detection, and better local/preview environments built on the same primitives our customers use
Design and build tools to support concurrent agent execution
Make test feedback fast enough to live inside an agent's loop, where slow or flaky runs compound across every attempt
Get agents the right context (codebase conventions, service ownership, recent changes, environment state) so their first attempt lands closer to correct
Simplify and establish repeatable patterns
Reduce toil through automation, paving over repetitive workflows and manual steps wherever they slow people down
Instrument the engineering org with meaningful signals (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, time to restore) and turn them into action
Build and participate in an on-call rotation as the team takes ownership of critical systems
