Resend is growing fast, and there are now over 4 million developers using it. As the Platform Squad, we are responsible for the internal platform and reliability foundations that let Resend teams build, deploy, observe, and operate services safely.
This role is fully remote based in Americas or European timezones, with some expected travel for team offsites, conferences, meetups, and more.

Help design secure defaults for new services, workers, queues, databases, internal tools, and deployment pipelines
Improve detection and response for suspicious access, leaked credentials, abnormal sending behavior, privilege changes, and sensitive system events

Have experience with open source security, GitHub organization hardening, package publishing, dependency review, or supply-chain security
Have helped a company prepare for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, enterprise security reviews, or customer trust processes without turning engineering into a compliance machine
