About the role

Software engineer focused on authentication, authorization, and access-management primitives for Render's platform, including SSO, RBAC, audit logging, scoped credentials, and SCIM provisioning. Built to make security feel built-in across interfaces, APIs, data models, and systems.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 6+ 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.
