Most infrastructure engineers never get to build a cloud from the metal up. At Render, you will. Developers and businesses around the world run their apps on Render, and we are building our own bare metal footprint to give them better performance and economics. You'll help take our first colocation site from an empty cage to production workloads, then scale that foundation as we expand our physical presence to thousands of hosts over the coming years.

You'll join a small, experienced team with real ownership. You'll partner closely with network engineering and our Kubernetes platform team, and the decisions you make now will become the template for every site that follows.

Take our first colocation site from empty cage to production workloads, then scale what you build as we grow to more sites and thousands of hosts

Design how servers go from the loading dock to production with minimal human touch: netboot, imaging, BMC-driven discovery, and host identity

Partner with network engineering on what the fleet needs from the network, from out-of-band management to production connectivity

Build the interface our Kubernetes platform team uses to request capacity, see host health, and coordinate maintenance, so consuming bare metal feels as easy as consuming cloud

Own the fleet's source of truth for hardware, software, and the physical environment

Automate the full server lifecycle, from burn-in and acceptance testing through remediation, staged firmware rollout, and RMA

Build automation like a production system, with guardrails on destructive actions and designs that survive site-level failure

Shape the technical and operational direction of our bare metal platform, from build-vs-buy decisions to how we operate thousands of hosts, and help hire the team that runs it
