Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Prerender sits in a distinctly SaaS-shaped niche: infrastructure that supports discoverability for JavaScript-heavy sites at scale. With a product already trusted by a large number of sites and serving pages to crawlers in high volumes, the engineering work is naturally oriented around reliability, observability, and performance—core concerns for mature SaaS services that operate continuously and must prove value through measurable outcomes.
For a software engineer building a SaaS career, this kind of environment tends to compound learning quickly: shipping to production frequently, owning changes end-to-end, and seeing how small technical decisions affect customer-facing availability and throughput. The emphasis on XP practices, testing discipline, and continuous delivery maps well to modern SaaS engineering expectations and is broadly transferable across subscription products where iteration speed and operational quality matter.
This role is best suited to an engineer who prefers collaborative development (pairing, code review, shared ownership) and wants to deepen craft in a team that treats engineering practices as a default rather than an aspiration. It also fits someone comfortable moving across the stack and engaging with product detail, without needing a strictly segmented “feature factory” workflow.

Profile Overview
As a Software Engineer at Prerender, you’ll be a core contributor to our team’s success. You bring strong technical skills, practice XP habits, and reliably deliver high-quality software increments. While not yet at senior level, you’ll take ownership of problems, contribute across the stack, and steadily broaden your impact. This is a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative, test-driven environment where simplicity, autonomy, and continuous improvement are core to how we work.
How We Work
- Engineers own their work from idea to production - design, build, run, and observe.
- XP practices (pairing, TDD, CI/CD, trunk-based development) are our default way of working.
- Collaboration across the team is essential: no silos, no lone wolves.
- We value simplicity and continuous improvement over “big bang” solutions.
Your responsibilities & typical day
- Pairing with another engineer to build a feature or tackle a bug.
- Practicing TDD to design reliable, clean code.
- Reviewing a teammate’s code and suggesting improvements.
- Working with product to refine acceptance criteria and edge cases.
- Improving tooling, tests, or documentation that make the whole team faster.
- Debugging an issue in production and deploying the fix.
What You bring to the table
- 3–6 years of professional experience building and shipping software
- Strong programming fundamentals and proficiency in at least one of our core languages: TypeScript/Node.js or Golang
- Hands-on experience with cloud-native environments (AWS a plus)
- Familiarity with distributed systems concepts and performance tuning
- Commitment to testing, clean design, and continuous delivery
- Proactive, curious, and eager to continuously improve
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
What’s in it for You
- Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
- Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
- Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable.
- Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
- Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning and expertise with each other internally.
- Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
