Site Reliability Engineer, Infra (Americas)

Resend is building the most accessible email platform for developers. As we’ve grown to over 1 million developers using our product and continue to onboard thousands of new users every day, the challenge of maintaining a reliable, scalable, and observable platform has grown with it.

You’ll design and operate the systems that keep Resend fast, reliable, and self-healing. From monitoring pipelines to automation, you’ll help build the foundation that allows every engineer to move confidently and safely.
