Resend is growing fast, and there are now over 4 million developers using it. We’re building tools that make email better for developers. We care about dependable infrastructure, thoughtful design, and the experience of everyone building with our products. In this role you'll build the anti-abuse systems that keep Resend open for good senders and closed to bad actors: real-time enforcement on every email, detection pipelines that scale with the platform, and automations that go from detection to action without waiting on a human. This role is fully remote based in Americas or European timezones, with some expected travel for team offsites, conferences, meetups, and more.
