What this role is

This role designs the complete experience for AI agents interacting with Render's cloud platform, spanning programmatic interfaces (CLI, API, SDKs, MCP) and the human-facing dashboards where developers supervise agent work. It suits senior designers comfortable working across both code-first and UI surfaces, who can set coherent design direction across disconnected tools and define quality standards in an emerging product category.
