The Opportunity

The Client Distribution team owns the infrastructure that releases, delivers, and updates all Postman client applications (e.g. Desktop App, Web App, Desktop Agent, and CLI) across every supported platform and OS. Our systems are the last mile between a merged pull request and 45M+ users getting the update. We own release pipelines, artifact hosting, versioning logic, rollout controls, and the tooling that hundreds of Postman engineers and release managers depend on to ship confidently.

Responsibilities

• Own Distribution Backend Services: Design, build, and operate the backend services that host, serve, and route client artifacts to the right users at the right time.

• Accelerate Time-to-Market: Improve CI/CD automation to cut the time from pull request merge to external rollout - optimise build pipelines, artifact deployment, and release orchestration.

• Build Rollout & Release Controls: Develop and extend tier-based rollout mechanisms and rollback capabilities through backend systems and the internal dashboards.

• Instrument & Observe: Build centralised observability for client CI/CD systems and extend MCP integrations to make release lifecycle data accessible and actionable.

• Modernise Legacy Systems: Drive the migration away from legacy services to modern, maintainable infrastructure and new distribution platforms.

• Build Reusable Tooling: Create SDKs and reusable deployment actions that simplify integration across other client repos.

About You

• 2–4 years of experience building and operating production REST APIs and backend services.

• Experience with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL).

• Comfortable working in JavaScript-based codebases.

• Hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure (CloudFront, Lambda, S3), CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions or similar).

• Familiarity with CDN architecture and artifact distribution systems.

• Experience working on platform or developer-experience teams where your users are other engineers.

Nice To Have

• Node.js / TypeScript experience is a strong plus.

• Experience with NoSQL databases (MongoDB).

• Experience with release engineering or release automation.

• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK, Terraform).

• Experience with Electron app distribution and update mechanisms.

• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and integrations.

Additionally, you are someone who

• Takes end-to-end ownership of projects - from technical design through delivery and operational support.

• Treats internal tooling as a product: gathers feedback from engineering teams, iterates, and improves the developer experience.

• Communicates with precision, sets clear context in async channels, and earns trust through results.

• Pushes for simplicity, defaults to automation, and isn't afraid to sunset systems that no longer serve the team.

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, 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.
