Postman
About this role
Postman makes the API development platform that most working developers have open in another tab: 45 million of them, and 98% of the Fortune 500, use it to design, test and document APIs. The company was founded in Bangalore and still runs a large engineering office there. This role sits on the API Network team, the searchable catalogue of public, private and partner APIs, and the work is specifically on search: making it fast, making results relevant, and building the end to end experience rather than just a screen. The stack is JavaScript and TypeScript, Node.js, SQL and NoSQL databases and web services, so it is genuinely full stack rather than frontend with a label. At 2 to 4 years this is the most accessible job on today's board by a clear margin.
Who this is for
The employer asks for 2 to 4 years of experience as a full stack engineer, which is the lowest bar in this edition. Required: proficiency with JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js, working knowledge of both SQL and NoSQL databases, familiarity with web services, and a strong grounding in software development fundamentals and infrastructure. Postman also asks for strong problem solving and what it calls a bias for action, meaning shipping under constraints rather than waiting for perfect requirements.
The day to day: owning intuitive, secure and performant end to end experiences for search, optimising search UX around customer needs, working alongside backend engineers, designers and product managers, building quick functional prototypes for internal and external use cases, and contributing through code review and mentoring peers. The posting explicitly asks you to work across silos and iterate in small increments.
Location is the Bangalore office, where Postman was founded. The posting does not state a number of office days. Benefits listed include full medical coverage, flexible PTO, a wellness reimbursement and a monthly lunch stipend, and Postman describes a pay on performance philosophy.
Good fit if you have two to four years of real full stack product work and want a large developer audience. Not a fit if you are looking for your first job: this is not a graduate role, it wants people who have already shipped.
