Software Engineer, Postman

• 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

Desirable

• We are investing in a Growth Engineering team at Postman to help developers and teams onboard to a powerful product experience that starts with single-player developers, and grows into teams that collaborate on the artifact of the APIs like how teams collaborate with the artifact of a design file using Figma
• We are building this team for a number of reasons, notably:
• Optimize sign-up and onboarding experience for both individuals and teams
• Help users uncover the power of Postman (it’s so much more than “just” an API client), gradually and at the right moment
• Guide users to key activation moments (like creating their first collection, or inviting a member to their team) that lead to expansion and a stickier product experience
• In effect: we know we have a product experience and funnel that works quite well. Now we want to optimize, tune, and make it even more amazing (and measure even more)
• You’ll work closely with Postman’s engineering leadership and our product and design teams to achieve our mission of connecting 100M developers in the world
• We specifically hope this person is you, because while the team is small right now, we want an eager, curious engineer who cares about building experiences that delight, convert, and measurably impact the business and work with a team of like-minded individuals who care deeply, too
• Execution is key on the Growth Engineering team. We’ll need someone who relentlessly leads by example on execution and ships measurably impactful changes regularly to the user experience of Postman
• We’ll progress and continuously improve towards achieving our goals and metrics and most importantly we’ll deliver an increasingly delightful product experience that developers love to use
• 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, and
• Collaborate across boundaries and geographies. Collaborate on team processes to streamline collaboration across US and India team members
