Senior Software Engineer (Frontend), Growth Engineering San Francisco, United States
Company: Tbwa Chiat/Day Inc
Location: San Francisco
Posted on: October 30, 2024
Job Description:
The OpportunityWe 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 experienceIn 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.We have built a
ubiquitous, loved developer product and you'd be joining the solid
and growing team in the United States. If you're curious, see why I
joined and hear about my experience in joining the rocket ship of
an opportunity that is Postman.Who are wePostman is the world's
leading API platform, used by more than 30 million developers and

We highly recommend reading The "API-First World" graphic novel to
understand the bigger picture and our vision at Postman.What you'll
doTo achieve our goals, we'll need a talented, experienced, and
thoughtful engineer with a special interest and aptitude for
growth. We are looking for someone who cares deeply about the
details and spends time building user interfaces that delight
users. We need an engineer who can be somewhat self-directed and
who has great taste, judgment, and can iterate (and ship!) quickly
to achieve the iterative improvements to our first-time user
experience. To quote Frank Slootman (former Snowflake
CEO):"Strategy is overrated and execution is severely underrated.
Mostly all companies plan well and mostly all companies fail at
execution. Make execution the king in your company."- Frank
Slootman, Amp it UpExecution is key on the Growth Engineering team.
We'll need someone who relentlessly leads by example on execution
and ships measurably impactful changes regularly to the user
experience of Postman. We'll progress and continuously improve
towards achieving our goals and metrics and most importantly we'll
deliver an increasingly delightful product experience that
developers love to use. You should expect to:
- Own and deliver. Deliver improvements to the core product
experience that help us achieve our goals around onboarding and
activation
- Deliver little big changes. Deliver small, measured changes
that meaningfully impact end users and successful activation of
these usersExperiment and identify winners. We have a great
foundation of experimentation on the team and you will need to
leverage and improve this foundation to ship A/B tested changes
that we know have an impact on our goals.
- Own end-to-end workflows. Own end-to-end and understand core
workflows, driving measurable improvements to user experience
particularly focused on first-time user experience (sign-up,
onboarding, and beyond)
- Deeply understand the user. Collaborate and work with end users
(developers!) using Postman to understand their core workflows and
then use that knowledge to improve our product
- Learn and grow. Broaden your knowledge of the core product and
the domain over time, starting with first-time UX but eventually
branching out into driving improvement to deeper experiences on the
Postman user's journey, and
- Collaborate across boundaries and geographies. Collaborate on
team processes to streamline collaboration across US and India team
membersAbout youMust have:
- Depth and quality of experience is more important than number
of years, but typically a good target is that you have at least 2+
years of experience building frontend or full-stack projects and
user experiences
- Track record of delivering impactful and engaging user
experiences that delight users
- 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.
