We are in office 5 days a week for all roles based out of our hubs in San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Austin, 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 • Our Values • At Postman, we create with the same curiosity that we see in our users.

Responsibilities
• Design, build, and own critical systems of the Fabric Gateway from the ground up — this is founding-level engineering work. • Lead architecture decisions for distributed systems that need to be fast, reliable, and correct at scale — handling high request volumes across a diverse ecosystem of services. • Drive technical direction and make high-leverage decisions; you'll be setting patterns the rest of the team follows. • Own observability, performance, and reliability end-to-end — SLA targets, monitoring, and on-call are your personal responsibility, not a handoff. • Collaborate closely with the EM and PM to scope milestones, prioritize ruthlessly, and iterate toward Early Access and GA. • Participate in design and code reviews, raise engineering standards, and mentor fellow engineers. • 6+ years of experience building infrastructure-level or platform software in cloud-native or SaaS environments. • Proven 0-to-1 track record — you've taken something from whiteboard to production and operated it at scale. • Deep systems design expertise: you've built distributed systems that handle high throughput, stay resilient under load, and scale horizontally without breaking operational simplicity. • Proficiency in Go. Strong fundamentals in systems programming and performance-sensitive code are essential. • Solid grasp of security primitives: mTLS, JWT, OAuth 2.0, RBAC/ABAC. • High ownership mindset — reliability, performance, and security are your problem, not someone else's ticket. • Strong communication skills; comfortable driving clarity in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
