About the role

With Postman Insights, our vision is to help guide a developer with little previous experience-in both the system being monitored and the Postman API Platform-to productively find and fix issues.
Our goal is to be able to help any developer locate API endpoints causing potential issues within 15 minutes of signing up for an account.
This will empower even a new developer to find and fix issues in their first days on the job, as easily as they can call an API today.

Develop new capabilities for the Postman Insights product, focusing on frontend development to enhance user experience and making end-user impacting improvements to the UX.
Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to spec, build, test, and deliver new features efficiently.
Contribute to frontend architectural and design decisions alongside the team, ensuring scalability and performance for the Postman Insights product.
To deliver our intended developer experience, we'll need to iterate with our alpha users to get the UX right.
Pragmatic and independent. Excited about finding minimal solutions to build the next feature and capable of unblocking themselves to solve problems efficiently.
Postman is helping developers and professionals across the globe build the API-first world by simplifying each step of the API lifecycle and streamlining collaboration-enabling users to create better APIs, faster.
Postman is privately held, with funding from Battery Ventures, BOND, Coatue, CRV, Insight Partners, and Nexus Venture Partners.
We are looking for an ambitious frontend engineer to own bigger and bigger portions of our UX, as part of an 0-1 initiative.
To deliver our intended developer experience, we'll need to iterate with our users to get the UX right.

Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
For roles based in Bangalore, employees currently work in the office three days a week and will transition to five days per week by the end of the year.
We were thoughtful in our approach which is based on collaboration and grounded in feedback from our workforce, leadership team, and peers.
We value transparency and honest communication about not only successes, but also failures.
Our inclusive work culture ensures that everyone is valued equally as important pieces of our final product.

We're looking for an engineer who can focus on the frontend and is excited about helping developers better understand their own systems through a compelling user interface.
Moves fast. We're going to be prototyping and iterating with our alpha users weekly. We're looking for someone who thrives on this pace.
The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has offices in Boston, New York, Austin, Tokyo, London, and Bangalore - where Postman was founded.
As we prepare to launch our open beta, we're looking for a frontend software engineer to help us bring our Postman Insights product to life.
