• Collaborate cross‑functionally: Partner with Product Marketing, Sales Engineering, and Education teams to ensure consistent, technically credible messaging across all touchpoints.

• Grow Postman’s reach: Develop strategies to grow engagement on YouTube, Substack, the Postman blog, and social channels through data‑driven content optimization.

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with strong API (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets) and coding (Python, Typescript) development skills

• 3+ years in a developer advocacy, developer relations, or developer education role.

• Proven ability to stand up, run, and scale in‑person meetups, including recruiting speakers, working with Partners and event management.

• A portfolio of published technical content (blog posts, conference talks, videos, open‑source projects, or tutorials).

• Hands‑on experience with Postman or similar API development platforms. Eagerness to get hands on with code, and work closely with engineering teams.

• Strong understanding of modern development workflows: CI/CD, testing, version control, and cloud‑native architectures.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging.

• Comfort with being on camera, on stage, and in front of a microphone. Strong experience in Youtube and video content is a plus

• Self‑directed, able to prioritize across content, community, and product feedback workstreams with minimal oversight.

The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from $210,000 to $230,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.

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.

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, New York City, Tokyo and London.

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.
