Software Engineer (Frontend)

About the Team

The Collections Team powers how developers and organizations build quality software faster — with Postman Collections at the heart of it. Collections help organize API requests and define reusable, testable, and well-documented structures. And we don’t stop there — we enable seamless collaboration with features like mock servers, version control and documentation.

Our services are mission-critical, processing 10K QPS and storing billions of requests across millions of Collections. We recently overcame massive storage bottlenecks — read our blog for details.
