Brian Dumbleton
Staff Product Designer
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Product designer with 8+ years in developer tools, security, and identity. I set multi-year design direction with stakeholders and research, then build the systems and prototypes a team needs to ship against it. At Render I own design for the networking and platform scaling surfaces. At Auth0 I was design lead for security products tied to $20M+ in ARR growth and retention, and helped scale the design organization through hiring, onboarding, and mentorship.
Experience
Render
2025 – PresentSenior Product Designer
- Established a code-native, agent-assisted prototyping workflow so designers and product managers can deploy frontend experiments directly on Render.
- Reduced the time to connect with external infrastructure from a multi-day manual support process to self-serve, doubling adoption in three months to carry roughly 30% of inbound platform traffic at a fifth the cost of public egress.
- Expanded bandwidth observability to support new traffic types, exposing roughly 60% of outbound traffic the platform had never shown users, which let us reprice network bandwidth and significantly improve networking margins.
