Resend is a developer-focused email platform designed to deliver transactional and marketing emails at scale. Its simple and elegant interface, along with SDKs for various programming languages, allows for seamless integration into developers' workflows. Companies of all sizes trust Resend for reliable email delivery, helping them reach humans instead of spam folders. The platform offers features like modular webhooks, contact management, broadcast analytics, and a powerful editor for creating beautiful email templates using React. Resend also provides insights into email interactions, secure domain authentication, and dedicated IP management to enhance deliverability.

📋 Description

• Build and improve the security foundations of Resend’s platform, including API keys, service permissions, secrets management, tenant isolation, audit logs, and internal access controls • Help design secure defaults for new 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 system events • Review and update our processes/pipelines so that security is “built-in”, not “bolt-on” • Raise the security bar
