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.
