The Opportunity: At Postman, we are revolutionizing the way developers build, trace, and automate API workflows with Postman Flows, a visual programming tool that simplifies the development and sharing of API-powered applications. With a drag-and-drop interface, Postman Flows enables teams to collaborate and showcase their APIs regardless of technical expertise. We are looking for a Software and Systems Engineer to scale and maintain the Flows runtime system. This system runs mission-critical automations in the cloud, focusing on low latency, high throughput, and high availability. You’ll help develop, deploy, and operate our backend services and infrastructure in a Kubernetes-based cloud environment. You’ll be expected to contribute quickly and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and to serve as a role model and mentor to other engineers.
