The Opportunity
Postman is the world's leading API platform and an AI-native developer companion that sits inside the daily workflow of more than 45 million developers and 500,000 organizations. The core product is where nearly all of them meet us: the request they send, the collection they share, the workspace their team lives in, the agent they hand work to. It is the most-used developer surface in the industry. In an AI-first world, almost every assumption behind it is up for renegotiation.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the Postman Product Team to build Postman's product experience.
What You'll Do
You will own product initiatives end-to-end, from build to driving adoption across all segments. You will be critical in owning the GTM launch, customer deployments, competitive benchmarking, and success of multiple products.
Specifically, you will:
- Build and prototype. We believe in prototypes over documents. You will build product prototypes, not just write documents. Use your technical skills to shorten the distance between an idea and evidence, and get functionality in front of users as early as possible.
- Live in the customer's workflow. Run on-site visits, customer deployments, and continuous feedback loops. Turn what you learn into clear feature sets, and into insight the rest of the company can act on.
- Win the market. Define what it takes to win the market, and continuously evaluate and remove complexity in the product experience, using data, customer insights, and hands-on experience.
- Own the launch, not just the release. Lead beta pitches for the first ~20 customers, then synthesize their feedback into tested, repeatable sales plays. Keep website pages, docs, and blog posts up to date, and partner with PMM on enablement.
- Answer for your product in public. Handle questions authoritatively in support channels, internal and external. Be the voice for the product.
- Close the loop. Aggressively feed what you learn in market back into the next build cycle.
About You
Must Have:
- 6+ years of product management experience, including a product used at scale by developers, with a proven track record across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science
- Real technical depth: 3+ years building software, or equivalent hands-on ability to read the code, open a PR, and build a functional prototype (React, Node.js, or similar).
- Fluency in API technologies and developer workflows (Postman, GitHub, CI/CD, API gateways) and in specification formats such as OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, and Protobuf (gRPC).
- Experience shipping AI-enabled developer tools, and a considered point of view on how to evaluate whether they are actually good.
- Excellent analytical instincts and comfort with product analytics.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical audiences and articulate a product vision people can repeat back to you.
- Mission-oriented, comfortable with change and ambiguity, with an adept ability to ruthlessly prioritize, move fast, and test and iterate quickly.
The reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $200,000 to $230,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
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, New York City, 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.
