Ownership & Growth

We’re building a cloud to empower every developer and business to move fast and focus on what matters most to them. Render is on an ambitious, long-term journey—and we’d love for you to join us.

These are the shared underlying principles that guide our work and decision making at Render. It is a manual for new hires and a handy reference for the rest of us.

We minimize the amount of thinking, reading, and clicking Render users need to do. We do the laborious work upfront so our users don’t have to.

Obsessive Focus on User Experience

Failures and mistakes are healthy as long as we’re making new ones. We examine failures dispassionately, objectively and without blame and treat each one as an opportunity to improve.

Continuous Learning

We do not compromise on quality to meet arbitrary deadlines. Instead, we find ways to optimize scope, staffing, and schedules.

Quality over Scope

As we grow and priorities begin to compete, we work together and focus on what’s best for our customers and our company.

Global Optimization

The best ideas and outcomes often emerge from vigorous debate amongst diverse viewpoints. We encourage intellectual disagreement when conducted with mutual trust and respect.

Constructive Conflict

Underlying guidelines for how we make decisions, partner with one another, and ultimately serve our users. They also offer a glimpse into the types of attributes and behaviors we value in each other and continuously aspire to embody as impactful individuals.

At Render’s stage, company and individual success are inseparable, making us all owners.

We’re building a vastly better future for developers. It is an outsized, ambitious goal that we’re well-positioned to achieve.

Quality permeates how we build products and infrastructure, communicate externally and internally, and grow the company.

Time is our most precious resource. Working on the wrong thing wastes time and prevents work on the right thing.

We aspire to build an enduring company where talented and kind individuals can do their best work over decades.

Render succeeds only if our users and our coworkers succeed. We are a team and a community.

I love working at Render because of the collaborative culture! Folks on the team are always willing and happy to share their knowledge, expertise, and feedback. You can tell that everyone really cares about creating the best product and experience for our users.

Render is great and here's why I love it.

John Doe

Improving global outcomes is our top priority at work, and it is also the foundation for individual success.

Low Ego

We say what we mean, directly, candidly, and sincerely, but always with empathy and respect.

Candor with Empathy

Hard work is an essential ingredient of success, but we’re in this for the long run. We take care of ourselves and seek balance to avoid burnout.

Commitment

We do the right thing even when it’s the harder option, and especially when no one’s looking.

High Integrity

We take full ownership and accountability for our work, but we’re never too proud to ask for help or additional context when needed.

Ownership

Who we are is best described by what we value in our coworkers, and who we as individuals continually aspire to be. These personal attributes codify the most important traits we look for in future coworkers.
