The opportunity
Render's mission is to eliminate the undifferentiated work that goes into building software products by offering an easy-to-use, powerful cloud platform for developer teams of all sizes.
What you'll do
Design and ship authentication and authorization systems for users, agents,: and services including credential scoping, SSO, SCIM provisioning and fine-grained permission models.
Evolve Render's authorization model toward clear permissions and scopes for: applications, environments, projects, and other platform resources.
Own the security experience across the stack, from the interfaces used to: manage features through to the APIs, data models and systems behind them.
Build the controls and audit trails customers use to define, enforce and: understand how people, services and agents act within their systems.
Design shared auth APIs and primitives, then work closely with Product,: Design, Security, and other Render teams to drive adoption.
Operate authentication and authorization systems that customers and other: teams depend on, including observability, safe rollouts, incident response, and on-call.
What they're looking for
- + years of experience shipping and operating production systems.
- You’ve built customer-facing authentication or authorization features and: understand how security choices shape the product experience.
- You've designed and operated systems where correctness, availability, and: safe rollout matter. You are comfortable working through API, data-model, caching, and migration tradeoffs.
- You can balance security and product tradeoffs. You understand why a control: exists, the friction it creates and when a simpler design is enough.
- A track record of taking ambiguous projects from design through production: while working with product, design, and engineers in other parts of the company.
