The role

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.

The Platform Squad builds and maintains the infrastructure, tools, and systems that keep Resend running reliably, securely, and at scale, empowering our teams to build, deploy, and operate services with confidence.

This role is fully remote based in Americas or European timezones, with some expected travel for team offsites, conferences, meetups, and more.

  • Build and improve the platform that powers Resend, providing reliable infrastructure and tooling that enables engineers to move quickly and safely

  • Design and operate scalable cloud infrastructure, primarily on AWS, with a focus on reliability, performance and security

  • Automate operational work and build self-service workflows that make common infrastructure and engineering tasks easier

  • Establish platform standards and patterns that help teams build, deploy, and operate services consistently

  • Improve reliability and observability across Resend, including participating in incident response and turning operational issues into lasting improvements

  • Partner with engineers across Resend to solve infrastructure and platform problems and build reusable solutions

You will be a great fit if you...

  • Bring 8+ years of experience across infrastructure engineering, platform, or SRE

  • Have strong experience managing production infrastructure as code, using tools like AWS CDK, Terraform, or Pulumi

  • Understand distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, including queues, workers, databases, caching, networking, and load balancing

  • Have solid working knowledge of AWS

  • Have strong experience with observability and monitoring, using tools like Datadog, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry

  • Are comfortable working across the stack, from load balancers and networking to delivery pipelines

  • Take ownership, communicate trade-offs clearly, and are comfortable working independently while knowing when to ask for help

  • Communicate clearly in written and spoken English and can consistently overlap with Americas working hours

You will be an exceptional fit if you also...

  • Have operated high-throughput systems at scale

  • Have built internal platforms, developer tooling, or self-service infrastructure

  • Have worked on developer tools, public APIs, or email infrastructure

  • Have deep experience with Node.js, TypeScript, Go, and Postgres

What it means to join the team...

  • Meaningful ownership: Help decide what we build and take responsibility for how it works

  • Autonomy: Make decisions, propose improvements, and move work forward

  • A high bar for quality: Care about everything from API behavior to how a service recovers from failure

  • A collaborative, low-ego team: Give honest feedback, share knowledge, and help each other grow

  • Remote work: Work with a fully remote team, with flexibility around shared working hours

  • Comp: $150,000 - $180,000 USD, commensurate with location and experience
