The Opportunity
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.
As we prepare to launch our open beta, we’re looking for an ambitious product manager familiar with bottom-up B2B products, who loves a good packaging and distribution problem. Today, we are working with a small number of alpha users who are running on K8s, ECS, and EC2. You will help us smooth our self-serve onboarding so we can serve many, many more users after launching to Postman’s user base. As we grow, you will help us expand our product to deliver value seamlessly across a variety of tech stacks.
