Overview

Postman is the world’s leading API platform, used by more than 40 million developers and 500,000 organizations, including 98% of the Fortune 500. Postman helps developers and professionals build the API-first world by simplifying each step of the API lifecycle and streamlining collaboration—enabling users to create better APIs, faster. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has offices in Boston, New York, and Bangalore. Postman is privately held, with funding from multiple venture firms. Learn more at postman.com.

The Opportunity : At Postman, we are revolutionizing the way developers build, trace, and automate API workflows with Postman Flows, a visual programming tool that simplifies the development and sharing of API-powered applications. With a drag-and-drop interface, Postman Flows enables teams to collaborate and showcase their APIs regardless of technical expertise. We are looking for a Software and Systems Engineer to scale and maintain the Flows runtime system. This system runs mission-critical automations in the cloud, focusing on low latency, high throughput, and high availability. You’ll help develop, deploy, and operate our backend services and infrastructure in a Kubernetes-based cloud environment.

You’ll be expected to contribute quickly and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and to serve as a role model and mentor to other engineers. If you’re driven to deliver high-quality solutions, we want you on our team!
