Job Summary
Security Engineer, Platform at Resend responsible for building and improving the security foundations of the platform (API keys, service permissions, secrets management, tenant isolation, audit logs, internal access controls), designing secure defaults for services and deployment pipelines, improving detection and response for suspicious activity and privilege changes, and embedding security into processes to be built-in rather than bolt-on. The role requires securing production infrastructure and cloud environments, writing and reading code, understanding authentication/authorization, IAM, logging, and incident response, and it is the first dedicated security hire with autonomy to ship. Optional experience includes email infrastructure, cloud tooling (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Cloudflare), open source security, and participating in security/compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR). 100% remote, flexible schedules, with a compensation of $120,000-$140,000 USD depending on experience.

- Experience preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or enterprise security reviews without turning engineering into a compliance machine
