Render

Render builds a cloud platform designed to let developers deploy, secure and scale applications, from short prototypes to multi-service architectures containing hundreds of services. The company's stated aim is to absorb infrastructure complexity - deployment automation, application security, scalability and reliability - so that development teams can concentrate on building products rather than managing undifferentiated operational work.

The platform is used by more than 4.5m developers and by customers ranging from startups to enterprises, among them Shopify, Twilio and Alibaba. Render has raised over $155m in funding. The supported range is broad: a hundred-line prototype and an application running hundreds of services are both intended to sit on the same infrastructure.

The company is headquartered in San Francisco, with remote team members distributed across the globe. Work focuses on cloud infrastructure, platform-as-a-service tooling, deployment automation and developer tooling, with an emphasis on reliability, uptime and ease of use. The culture is described as remote-friendly and oriented towards builders who ship quickly and at scale.
