Data Scientist, Trust & Safety
Email is unlike any other medium in the world. With just an address, anyone can talk to anyone, no matter their location, status, or class. It’s democratized access, it’s a sacred privilege, and it’s worth protecting at all costs.
Resend is building the most accessible email platform for developers. As we’ve grown to over 1 million developers using Resend and continue to onboard thousands of new users every day, the pressure of maintaining a safe place for good senders continues to build up.
As the first Data Scientist on our Trust & Safety squad, you will wear many investigative hats— identifying abuse patterns, designing purpose build data sets, and developing models that prevent harmful users and enable good senders and scale.
