About the role

Senior Engineering Manager leading two teams (UX onboarding/activation and Agent Platform) to redesign Render's onboarding, activation, and agent-facing experiences. Responsible for roadmaps, architecture decisions, team growth, and cross-functional collaboration with product and design to drive user growth, activation, and monetization.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow two teams, UX (human onboarding and activation) and Agent Platform (programmatic interfaces via 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 dedicated product and design teams to align roadmap with customer, growth, and platform needs
  • Hire and develop engineers to support planned team growth while maintaining team identities and focus
  • Make key architectural and product decisions balancing long-term platform investments with onboarding/activation improvements
  • Build a strong performance management and career development practice for a team that includes senior ICs

Qualifications

  • 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 either a startup or a larger company with experience operating in a fast-paced environment
