Requirements
  • At least 7+ years of experience building frontend or full-stack projects and user experiences.
  • Track record of delivering impactful and engaging user experiences that delight users
  • Deep expertise in building the modern web with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You likely have used libraries or frameworks like React or Next.js, but we care much more about the fundamentals than the tech stack.
  • Excellent communication skills. We’re a remote-first team and we’re going to be moving fast together. Good communication is key.
  • Detail oriented. We have to care about the details, and while we don’t expect you to be a designer, you need to care about the product experience that our teams are shipping.
  • Measure twice, cut once. We expect that you are analytical by nature and have experience in delivering features, improvements, and changes that leverage analytics tools (like LaunchDarkly) and experimentation techniques.
  • Customer obsession. As we are a core product with years of muscle memory, we need an engineer who is able and willing to leverage the voice of the customer to expedite decision making, develop conviction, and most importantly delight our user.
  • Based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Responsibilities
  • Own and deliver. Deliver improvements to the core product experience that help us achieve our goals around onboarding and activation
  • Deliver little big changes. Deliver small, measured changes that meaningfully impact end users and successful activation of these users
  • Experiment and identify winners. We have a great foundation of experimentation on the team and you will need to leverage and improve this foundation to ship A/B tested changes that we know have an impact on our goals.
  • Own end-to-end workflows. Own end-to-end and understand core workflows, driving measurable improvements to user experience particularly focused on first-time user experience (sign-up, onboarding, and beyond)
  • Deeply understand the user. Collaborate and work with end users (developers!) using Postman to understand their core workflows and then use that knowledge to improve our product
  • Learn and grow. Broaden your knowledge of the core product and the domain over time, starting with first-time UX but eventually branching out into driving improvement to deeper experiences on the Postman user’s journey
  • Collaborate across boundaries and geographies. Collaborate on team processes to streamline collaboration across US and India team members

Postman provides a platform for API development that helps developers and organizations design, test, document, and monitor APIs. The platform includes tools that enable teams to collaborate effectively, allowing them to share and manage APIs with ease. Postman operates on a subscription-based model, offering different pricing tiers for individual developers, small teams, and large enterprises, while also providing a free tier to attract new users. A key aspect of Postman is its role in facilitating data exchange, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it provided API collections for healthcare professionals and researchers to access real-time data. This focus on collaboration and comprehensive API management sets Postman apart from its competitors, with the goal of streamlining the API development process for users across various industries.
