Understand authentication, authorization, retries, idempotency, rate limits, and partial failures
Have built software that other developers depend on and understand the responsibility of maintaining it
Care about interface design, clear errors, useful documentation, and backward compatibility
Think about agents as users of a product, with their own needs for discovery and security

Communicate clearly, welcome feedback, and take ownership while working closely with others

Nice to have

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

Have maintained an open source project or worked closely with external contributors
Have built SDKs, command-line tools, MCP servers, or integrations between platforms
Have experience with React or frontend build tooling
Have built and operated systems with queues, monitoring, and error recovery
Have worked across multiple programming languages and understand what makes a library feel natural in each

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.

On our DevTools Squad, you'll work across our SDKs, React Email, CLI, MCP, and integrations, alongside the backend services that support them. Your work will help developers build within their existing workflows, understand failures, and confidently depend on Resend as their applications grow.

Build and maintain developer tools that make Resend easy to integrate with across languages, frameworks, and environments
Build and operate services that support our developer tools and integrations
Collaborate with product squads on clear API contracts and consistent behavior across SDKs, CLI, MCP, and documentation
Build the interfaces developers and agents use to work with Resend, such as MCP, skills, and the CLI
Take care of compatibility, testing, releases, and upgrades so developers can depend on what we ship
Build shared tooling that helps other squads ship changes across our developer tools confidently
Work directly with developers through support, GitHub issues, and pull requests

How you'll work

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