The Opportunity
As Staff Engineer, Desktop Platform, you’ll join the Postman Client Platform team and lead the technical direction of our Electron-based desktop application, used by over 40 million developers worldwide. You will shape its architecture, performance, and security for years to come.
This is an IC-first role. You’ll design and build every day while also serving as the technical anchor for our Desktop Platform. You will define its architecture, implement critical features, and mentor engineers, guiding how Postman evolves across desktop operating systems.
About the Team
The Client Platform organization provides the “paved path” for building, testing, and releasing Postman’s web and desktop applications. We own the frameworks, SDKs, build tooling, shared libraries, and infrastructure that product engineers rely on every day. Our platform is the foundation that hundreds of Postman engineers use to deliver features and improvements to over 40 million customers.
Within this group, the Desktop Platform team is responsible for Postman’s Electron integration and OS-level infrastructure. The team ensures Postman is installable, updatable, performant, and secure across Windows, macOS, and Linux, working closely with the Client SDK and Build/Release teams to provide a consistent and reliable experience.

Your Experience

At Postman, we embrace a hybrid work model.

We were thoughtful in our approach which is based on balancing flexibility and collaboration and grounded in feedback from our workforce, leadership team, and peers. The benefits of our hybrid office model will be shared knowledge, brainstorming sessions, communication, and building trust in-person that cannot be replicated via zoom.
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.
