P.S: We highly recommend reading The "API-First World" graphic novel to understand the bigger picture and our vision at Postman.
The Client Platform team builds the “paved path” that lets every Postmanaut ship confidently and often. Our tooling and pipelines are the foundation hundreds of engineers rely on daily to deliver web and desktop experiences to 40M+ users. We own build systems, CI/CD, test infrastructure, and the inner-loop developer experience that turns ideas into production-grade releases.
Responsibilities
- Own CI/CD for Web & Desktop: Design, implement, and evolve our build and release pipelines (templates, reusable actions) for speed, reliability, and maintainability.
- Level-up Release Management: Automate versioning, changelogs, canaries, phased rollouts, and instant rollbacks; codify trunk-based workflows and change management guardrails.
- Instrument the Platform: Define SLIs/SLOs and metrics to provide actionable insights into the health of the CI/CD process. Add deep observability for pipelines (traces/logs/metrics, queue health, cache hit rates).
- Optimize Cost & Throughput: Right-size runners/executors, cache effectively, and eliminate redundant work.
- Automate Quality at Scale: Build test execution platforms (parallelization, sharding, retry policies) for unit/integration/E2E with deterministic artifacts and failure triage.
- Coach & Influence: Mentor engineers, write great documentation, assist in architecture reviews and drive improvements across teams.
About You
- 8+ years building and operating CI/CD pipelines and internal platform tooling for large engineering orgs.
- Hands-on with GitHub Actions/CircleCI/Buildkite/Jenkins (any subset) and containerized build runners.
- Comfortable in JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience with monorepos and modern build systems (Turborepo, Nx) and package managers (npm/pnpm/yarn).
- Proven track record accelerating engineering: e.g., cutting CI time by 3–5x, increasing deployment frequency, or slashing flake rates.
Additionally, you are someone who
- Communicates with precision, sets clear guardrails, and earns trust through results and data.
- Treats developer experience as a product: you gather feedback, ship iteratively, and deprecate responsibly.
- Pushes for simplicity, defaults to automation, and isn’t afraid to delete code or policies that no longer serve us.
What Else?
In addition to Postman's pay-on-performance philosophy, and a flexible schedule working with a fun, collaborative team, Postman offers a comprehensive set of benefits, including full medical coverage, flexible PTO, wellness reimbursement, and a monthly lunch stipend. Along with that, our wellness programs will help you stay in the best of your physical and mental health. Our frequent and fascinating team-building events will keep you connected, while our donation-matching program can support the causes you care about. We’re building a long-term company with an inclusive culture where everyone can be the best version of themselves.
At Postman we value in person collaboration. We are in office 5 days a week for all roles based out of our hubs in San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Austin, Tokyo and London. 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. The benefits of our in office model will be shared knowledge, brainstorming sessions, communication, and building trust in-person that cannot be replicated via zoom.
Our Values
At Postman, we create with the same curiosity that we see in our users. We value transparency and honest communication about not only successes, but also failures. In our work, we focus on specific goals that add up to a larger vision. Our inclusive work culture ensures that everyone is valued equally as important pieces of our final product. We are dedicated to delivering the best products we can.
