The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager who is excited about scaling a fast-paced 0-to-1 engineering team:

  • Own roadmap and process to rapidly deliver product improvements, while investing in longer-term scaling efforts on the Insights platform.

  • Experience managing a hybrid team distributed across time zones.

  • Hands on: we don’t expect you to write load-bearing code, but we expect you to be able to roll up your sleeves from time to time to understand the technical systems.
  • Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and able to come to the office 3x per week.

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience working on a 0-to-1 product.

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. If you have little ones in your family, the creche allowance can help in supporting your work-life balance. 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 embrace a hybrid work model. For all roles based out of San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Bangalore, Noida, Hyderabad, and New York, employees are expected to come into the office 3-days a week. We were thoughtful in our approach which is based on balancing flexibility and collaboration and grounded in feedback from our workforce, leadership team, and peers. The benefits of our hybrid 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.
