About the role

We're building out the Customer Success Engineering team at Postman, and we need business-minded engineers who can solve real problems at scale. You will partner closely with Customer Success Managers and own the "How" of technical solutioning. This is a consultative role that requires both depth and versatility. This is no support role; you'll be the technical architect of Customer Success, turning complex and nuanced challenges into repeatable solutions that benefit our entire enterprise customer base. As a CSE, you consult on the technical implementation path. When a customer needs to get from point A to point B, you figure out how to make it happen - whether that means architecting workflows within Postman, guiding integrations, or creating pragmatic workarounds when the product doesn't quite fit. A key part of this role is turning individual solutions into reusable assets that shorten time to value for future customers. We don't believe in reinventing the wheel each time. Success in this role requires a blend of technical expertise, systems thinking, and the ability to translate complex business objectives into actionable implementation steps.

Responsibilities

  • Collateral and Enablement: Build reusable assets such as technical guides, templates, scripts, or reference implementations that scale best practices across customers.
  • Product Feedback Loop: Capture customer challenges, propose interim solutions, and document gaps to inform product roadmap discussions.
  • Adaptive Problem Solving: When out of the box functionality is insufficient, design pragmatic solutions (workarounds, custom scripts, integrations, etc.) to help unblock and activate customers.
  • About You
  • You need 6-8+ years in a technical customer-facing role and a portfolio of "built things".
  • Customer Success Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Technical Account Manager... the title doesn't matter as much as the hands-on technical work that solves real problems for customers.

Requirements

  • Strong foundation in Computer Science or Engineering (degree or equivalent real-world experience)
  • Experience with JavaScript and related technologies such as Node.js or TypeScript, or equivalent experience with other modern scripting languages
  • Deep understanding of APIs, developer workflows, and modern DevOps practices
  • Proven ability to scope ambiguous problems and deliver working solutions quickly
  • Experience building technical collateral that scales - scripts, templates, automation tools
  • Comfort engaging both individual developers and enterprise architects
  • You should be comfortable in Postman and familiar with the broader developer toolchain - GitHub, AWS, Azure, and other pipelines. Most importantly, you need to understand how enterprises actually build and ship software , not just how they say they do in planning meetings.
  • The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from $150,000.00 to $200,000.00, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
