Senior Content Engineer

At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. 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.

Unlike 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.

Our 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.

We’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.

APPLYING TO RENDER

We'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.

We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups in the tech community to apply and understand that not all successful candidates will meet each requirement listed.

Our 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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Developers increasingly pick their tools through AI assistants and coding agents. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or a coding agent where to deploy their app, we want Render to be the answer. That depends on content that exists, is accurate, and stays current.

As Render’s Senior Content Engineer, you’ll own the strategy and the system behind that content. You’ll find the gaps in our content catalog based on how Render shows up in LLM and answer-engine results, decide which gaps matter most, and build and run the content factory that fills them. The role sits close to DX Engineering and is fully focused on content. You’ll work directly with the Head of Developer Experience, the DX team, Render’s docs owners, and external content partners.

The primary audience for this content is coding agents and LLMs. You’ll ship focused, technically grounded pieces that help them answer developer questions and cite Render: use-case articles, stack-specific guides, comparisons, and docs. The field is still taking shape, so you’ll test what works and help write the playbook.

This is a remote role within the US, with the option to work out of our headquarters in San Francisco.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own Render’s content gap analysis. Use AEO benchmarks, citation tracking, and AI agent traffic data to find where Render is missing, wrong, or out-cited in LLM answers, and turn noisy signals into clear priorities.

• Turn that analysis into a prioritized backlog across articles, guides, and docs, with clear reasoning for what ships first.

• Build and improve Render’s content factory: the AI-assisted pipelines, built on Render Workflows, that research, draft, fact-check, and assist us in publishing technical content. Test changes with evals and keep the system reliable as output grows.

• Own the review loop. Make expert review faster and cheaper, track factual accuracy, and keep the quality bar high at higher volume.

• Run the refresh cycle for existing content so pages stay accurate as the product changes.

• Manage day-to-day work with external content partners: briefs, feedback, quality, and output.

• Partner with docs owners to expand docs coverage where it drives citations.

• Define and report the metrics that show whether content moves Render’s visibility and signups. Volume published is one input among several.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• The content factory is reliable, well maintained, and keeps up as our content needs grow.

• Render shows up more often in agent and LLM answers for the topics the content plan targets.

• Content stays technically accurate, and expert review takes less time per piece as output grows.

• The content plan responds to gaps in our catalog and to what we learn about Render’s visibility in agent and LLM answers.

• We have a plan and a workflow to keep the catalog up to date as the product changes.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years in technical content, developer education, content engineering, or software engineering with a strong content focus, ideally at a developer tools or infrastructure company.

• A working understanding of AEO or generative engine optimization (GEO) and how answer engines choose sources. The field is new, so we care about what you’ve built and measured, and how fast you learn.

• Strong working knowledge of AI agents. You use coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor every day, and you know agent workloads (long-running tasks, tool calls, sandboxed code execution) well enough to judge whether content about them is correct.

• A builder’s approach to AI. You’ve built content systems in code (scripts, pipelines, LLM and agent workflows) and use evals to understand what a change affects. Comfortable with Python or TypeScript, Git, and APIs.

• Strong techn
