Security Engineer, Platform

The Platform Squad builds the internal platform and reliability foundations that let Resend teams build, deploy, observe, and operate services safely. The role is fully remote in the Americas or European time zones, with occasional travel for team offsites, conferences, and meetups.

In this role, you will

• Build and improve platform security foundations, including API keys, service permissions, secrets management, tenant isolation, audit logs, and internal access controls.
• Design secure defaults for 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 events.
• Review processes and pipelines so security is built in; raise the security bar.

You will be a great fit if you

• Have secured production infrastructure, cloud environments, APIs, developer platforms, or multi-tenant SaaS products.
• Can write code and read application, infrastructure, and deployment code.
• Understand authentication, authorization, secrets, IAM, logging, audit trails, incident response, and secure deployment pipelines.
• Can independently prioritize your work as the first dedicated security hire and prefer practical improvements over heavy processes.
• Care about developer experience and believe security should be easy to adopt.

It is a plus if you have

• Experience with email infrastructure, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, webhooks, abuse prevention, cloud infrastructure, open-source security, supply-chain security, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or security observability.

What it means to join the team

• Autonomy, ownership, flexible schedules, and a modern development stack.
• Honest, low-ego, fully remote team.

Compensation: $140,000–$160,000 USD, commensurate with experience.
