Data Scientist
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 15K customers 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.
In this role, you will…
Facilitate a novel, zero-friction approach to email sending
Investigate the root-causes of anomalies and gang attacks
Analyze signal effectiveness: precision, recall, drift, overlap, etc
Consult with data engineering to shape purpose-built data pipelines
Deeply understand and stay up to date on email abuse vectors and trends
Build dashboards and alerts for real-time visibility into behavior and policy violations
Build machine learning models to prevent abuse at scale with zero false-positive budget
Who You Are..
Fluent in SQL and Python (Javascript is a plus)
Completed a relevant scientific or mathematical degree
Proven ability to productize algorithms for real-time systems
You thrive in ambiguity and can build frameworks out of thin air
Great communicator that can explain complicated models to non-data folks
+2 years of professional experience in relevant role working with massive data sets
