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.\nUnlike 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.\nOur 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.\nWe’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.\nApplying to Render\nWe'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.\nWe especially encourage members of underrepresented groups in the tech community to apply and understand that not all successful candidates will meet each requirement listed.\nOur interview process is unique to each role, and we value the candidate experience just as much as our customer experience. We hope your conversations with us reflect a thoughtful process that is illuminative, enjoyable, and respectful of your time.\nAbout the Role\nRender's mission is simple: eliminate the tedious work of building software by providing a cloud platform that just works.\nWe're evolving from the go-to platform for solo developers into the backbone for fast-scaling teams. Our brand has to evolve with us. Developers already love Render for how it feels to use; now the brand needs to carry that same clarity and confidence everywhere else: on our site, in our campaigns, on a conference floor, and in every launch we put into the world.\nAs Brand Designer, you'll be a core maker on the brand team. You'll take briefs and turn them into sharp, finished work across campaigns, launches, events, and everyday brand moments. You'll contribute ideas in concept development, own projects from first sketch to final files, and help keep the brand system consistent as it grows. You'll work closely with senior brand designers and creative leads, with plenty of room to take on bigger projects as you grow.\nWhat makes this work hard and interesting: developers are a famously skeptical audience. They can spot marketing gloss from a mile away, and they reward brands that are honest, specific, and a little bit delightful. Great brand work here has to earn attention from people who don't want to be sold to. That takes real craft and a good sense of what engineers find genuine.\nYou'll join a design team that takes its craft seriously, with weekly critiques and deep collaboration with marketing, product, and engineering. You'll thrive here if you love making things, care deeply about the details, and want to grow your craft alongside people who will push you.\nWhat You'll Do\nCreate high-craft graphic design across the brand. Design key visuals, web and social assets, ads, presentations, print, and merch. Typography, layout, color, and composition are your everyday tools, and you'll bring care to every piece, no matter how small.\n\nContribute to concept development. Join brainstorms and creative explorations with a steady stream of ideas. You'll sketch directions, build out options, and help the team find the concept that best fits the brief, then refine it until it's ready to ship.\n\nDesign and extend campaigns. Working from a creative platform set with senior designers and marketing, you'll design campaign assets and adapt them across channels and formats. You'll keep the idea consistent from a homepage takeover to a social carousel to an email header.\n\nBring the brand to events. Design materials for conferences, meetups, and Render-hosted gatherings, including booth graphics, signage, print collateral, and swag. You'll manage production details with vendors so the work looks as good in person as it did on screen.\n\nOwn projects end to end. Take projects from brief to delivery with growing independence: clarify the ask, plan your time, share work early, take feedback well, and hand off clean, production-ready files.\n\nUse and help evolve the brand system. Work fluently within our visual identity and guidelines, spot gaps, and contribute new templates, components, and assets that make on-brand work easier for everyone.\n\nGrow your craft through critique. Present your work in weekly critiques, give thoughtful feedback to peers, and learn from senior designers as you take on larger and more ambiguous projects.\n\nCollaborate across the company. Partner with marketing, product, and engineering on day-to-day requests and launches. You'll communicate clearly about timelines and tradeoffs and keep stakeholders in the loop.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n4+ years of brand or graphic design experience, in-house, at an agency, or a mix of both. We care more about the quality of your work than your title.\n\nStrong graphic design fundamentals. You have a sharp eye for typography, layout, color, and hierarchy, and your portfolio shows polished work that holds up across sizes and formats.\n\nExperience contributing to concepts. You can show how you've helped shape an idea, not just execute one: the sketches, the explorations, and how your thinking moved the work forward.\n\nCampaign and launch work. You've designed assets for campaigns or product launches across digital, social, and print, and you know how to keep an idea consistent across many formats.\n\nSome event or physical design experience. You've designed for print production, signage, booths, or merch, and you understand what it takes to get files ready for the real world.\n\nComfort working within a brand system. You can work fluently inside an established identity and know when to stretch it thoughtfully.\n\nCuriosity about developers. You don't need a technical background, but you're interested in how developers think and what kind of brand they trust.\n\nOwnership and reliability. You manage your own projects, hit deadlines, and know when to ask for direction. You take feedback well and use it to make the work better.\n\nClear, collaborative communication. You can present your work, explain your choices, and work smoothly with marketing, product, and engineering partners.\n\nNice-to-Haves\nAnimation and motion design. You can add motion to brand work, such as animated social posts, logo stings, or simple launch videos. Experience with After Effects, Cavalry, Rive, or Lottie is a plus.\n\nInteractive design and experiences. You've designed interactive web moments, microsites, or playful experiments that invite people to engage.\n\nComfort near code. Some familiarity with HTML, CSS, or prototyping tools that help you test interactive ideas.\n\nExperience at a developer tools or technical company.\n\nIllustration or 3D skills that expand what the brand can do in-house.\n\nCuriosity about AI-assisted design and how new tools can speed up exploration.\n\nSide projects that show your craft and point of view.\n\nIf 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.\nBenefits\n4 weeks of paid vacation.\n\n14 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents to bond with a newly born, adopted, or fostered child. We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.\n\nLong-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans.\n\n100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage for you and a dependent. FSAs and HSAs are available as well.\n\nMonthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies, etc.\n\nMonthly cell phone and internet subsidy.\n\nCommuter benefits for Renders in the Bay Area, and home office stipends for remote Renders.\n\nContinuous learning benefits & related support.\n\nThis position is generally not eligible for new visa sponsorship. At Render's discretion, the business may sponsor existing visa transfers. Applicants who require sponsorship must receive business authorization.\nRender is an equal-opportunity employer.
