The API client is the core beating heart of the Postman product experience. It is what many users perceive as the entirety of Postman (although there is so much more!), and we have ambitious goals in 2024 and beyond about delighting developers more with the API client as well as simplifying this central product experience. We have three thematic goals for that we plan to achieve, and hopefully you will have a hand in doing so.
We have built a ubiquitous, loved developer product that is a crucial piece of the broader Postman experience. We are responsible for everything around building the engine that is centrally responsible for enabling users to send and debug requests, regardless of protocol. Nearly 80% of Postman’s users utilize the work of the API Client team. We have plans to double the engineering organization in the next year and if you want an early seat on the rocket ship, this is the right place to be.
Postman is the world’s leading API platform, used by more than 30 million developers and 500,000 organizations, including 98% of the Fortune 500. 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.
The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has an office in Bangalore, where it was founded. Postman is privately held, with funding from Battery Ventures, BOND, Coatue, CRV, Insight Partners, and Nexus Venture Partners.

P.S: We highly recommend reading The "API-First World" graphic novel to understand the bigger picture and our vision at Postman.
To achieve our goals, we’ll need a talented, experienced, and thoughtful fullstack engineer who cares deeply about the details and spends time building user interfaces that delight users. As indicated previously, 2024 is a year where we want to simplify and pare down the core experience we deliver on the API client, and so we need an engineer who can be somewhat self-directed and who has great taste, judgment, and can iterate (and ship!) quickly to achieve the iterative simplification that we will achieve with the API client product. To quote Frank Slootman (former Snowflake CEO):
“Strategy is overrated and execution is severely underrated. Mostly all companies plan well and mostly all companies fail at execution. Make execution the king in your company.”
– Frank Slootman, Amp it Up
Execution is key on the API client team. We’ll need someone who relentlessly leads by example on execution and ships 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.
