Frontend Software Engineer, Growth Engineering

Postman•San Francisco, CA

39d•$110,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We are investing in a Growth Engineering team at Postman to help developers and teams onboard to a powerful product experience that starts with single-player developers, and grows into teams that collaborate on the artifact of the APIs like how teams collaborate with the artifact of a design file using Figma. We are building this team for a number of reasons, notably: Optimize sign-up and onboarding experience for both individuals and teams Help users uncover the power of Postman (it's so much more than "just" an API client), gradually and at the right moment Guide users to key activation moments (like creating their first collection, or inviting a member to their team) that lead to expansion and a stickier product experience In effect: we know we have a product experience and funnel that works quite well. Now we want to optimize, tune, and make it even more amazing (and measure even more). We're looking for an experienced engineer who has worked on projects that generated measurable business impact. You'll work closely with Postman's engineering leadership and our product and design teams to achieve our mission of connecting 100M developers in the world. We specifically hope this person is you, because while the team is small right now, we want an eager, curious engineer who cares about building experiences that delight, convert, and measurably impact the business and work with a team of like-minded individuals who care deeply, too.

Requirements

At least 5+ years of experience building frontend and/or full-stack projects and user experiences.
Track record of delivering impactful and engaging user experiences that delight users
Deep expertise in building the modern web with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You likely have used libraries or frameworks like React or Next.js, but we care much more about the fundamentals than the tech stack.
Excellent communication skills. We're a remote-first team and we're going to be moving fast together. Good communication is key.
Detail oriented. We have to care about the details, and while we don't expect you to be a designer, you need to care about the product experience that our teams are shipping.
Measure twice, cut once. We expect that you are analytical by nature and have experience in delivering features, improvements, and changes that leverage analytics tools (like LaunchDarkly) and experimentation techniques.
Customer obsession. As we are a core product with years of muscle memory, we need an engineer who is able and willing to leverage the voice of the customer to expedite decision making, develop conviction, and most importantly delight our user.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
