• We’re looking for an experienced engineering leader who has previously led an engineering team within a highly scalable, fast-growing business to lead this charter at Postman
• We specifically hope this person is you, because while the team is small right now, we want a seasoned engineering leader who has built small teams into great, outsized outcomes
• 4+ years of experience serving in an engineering management role, either building customer-facing products or developer-facing products
• 5+ years of prior experience as a full-stack developer (preferably JavaScript) in a hyper growth engineering environment
• Measure twice, cut once. Experience managing the delivery of experiments (A/B, Multivariate, etc) that drive measurable impact
• Top-tier communicator. You possess excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You must be a builder. While we don’t expect you to be hands-on coding, we expect you to be regularly using the product and able to speak the same language as the team building the tool
• 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
• Customer obsession. As we are a core product with years of muscle memory, we need a leader who is able and willing to leverage the voice of the customer to expedite decision making, develop conviction, and most importantly delight our user
• Experience managing engineering teams that deliver impactful results as quickly as possible but do so safely and with appropriate guard rails around a mature product experience that our users depend upon us to just work
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area
