Render (https://render.com) | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineers and Designers | Full-time | All visas except new H-1Bs | Onsite

When deploying applications in production, developers are forced to pick between two extremes: expensive yet simplistic platforms like Heroku, or complicated, do-it-all-yourself services like AWS. By contrast, Render makes it easy to get up and running quickly but also allows applications to scale and increase in complexity over time, preventing a transition to DIY infrastructure.

Our goal is to completely free up developers and teams from managing infrastructure. This will ultimately improve all software and enable entirely new classes of applications.

We're building products that abstract over complexity and minimize cognitive overhead for our users. This requires careful thought, high creativity and a deep understanding of application requirements in production. Our stack is React, GraphQL, Go, Kubernetes and Postgres, but we don't require prior experience with any of them. We're looking for people with high integrity, low ego, and an insatiable drive to learn.

We're serving live applications in production and building our founding engineering and design teams in SF. The company is backed by the same investors behind Airbnb, Snap, and Stripe, as well as the former CTOs of VMware and Dropbox.

I'm the founder and would love to hear from you if this sounds interesting. You can apply here: https://render.com/jobs



What are the examples of new visas that you can sponsor?

I thought H-1B was the only way to immigrate to the US for work? There is L1 but L1 requires the employee to be working for the foreign office of the US company for at least a year before he/she can be issued L1.

So which are the visas you are sponsoring when you say "all visas except new H-1Bs"?


We can sponsor H-1B transfers, TN visas for Canada/Mexico citizens (we did this for Render's first engineer), H-1B1 visas for Singapore citizens, and pretty much any other work visa that's not a new H-1B. If you're on an OPT, we will file a new H-1B for you because you're already here.

We will eventually grow out of this constraint, but it's personally frustrating because my own first job out of college was on an H-1B visa.


Interested. Applied to the full stack role just now!


Curios for the reasoning for not accepting new H-1Bs?


Two reasons:

1. Given the limited number of H1-Bs, there's only a ~35% chance we'll be able to get the application approved.

2. New H-1B applications will only be accepted in April 2019, but we're looking to hire now.
