The opportunity
As Senior Engineering Manager for Agent Platform & UX, you will lead two teams reimagining Render's onboarding and activation experience for both humans and AI agents.
What you'll do
Lead and grow two teams, UX (human onboarding and activation) and Agent: Platform (the equivalent experience for agents via programmatic interfaces like the MCP, CLI, API, SDK, and Blueprints)
Own the roadmap for Render's self-serve user journey, from first touch: through activation, initial monetization, usage expansion, new feature adoption, and PQL graduation
Drive the agent-facing side of the platform: build the API-driven experience that lets agents integrate with and operate on Render
Partner with the dedicated product and design partners on both teams to align: roadmap with customer, growth, and platform needs
Hire and develop engineers to support planned team growth, while keeping both: teams' identities and focus areas clear as they scale
Make key architectural and product decisions, balancing long-term platform: investment against iterative improvements to onboarding and activation
What they're looking for
- Strong people leadership: the top priority for this role
- Hands-on enough to review code, prototype, and contribute directly when it helps the team
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, with adaptability and a growth mindset
- Proven experience building and scaling more than one team, ideally growing a: group from a handful of engineers into a larger org
- Experience managing and developing senior (IC5+) engineers, including hiring and performance management
- Ability to partner closely with product and design without needing to fill those functions yourself
- Strong product instincts, with the ability to connect engineering investment to growth and activation outcomes
- Background from a startup preferred, though experience at a larger company: can work too. What matters is the ability to operate at pace
