We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager who is excited about scaling a fast-paced 0-to-1 engineering team:

• Lead a tight-knit, hybrid team of high-performing engineers.
• Own roadmap and process to rapidly deliver product improvements, while investing in longer-term scaling efforts on the Insights platform.
• Drive technical vision for all parts of a backend-intensive product, encompassing product engineering and infrastructure/platform. The platform processes streaming time-series data as part of continuously monitoring production APIs.

Must have:

• Experience managing a hybrid team distributed across time zones.
• Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Hands on: we don’t expect you to write load-bearing code, but we expect you to be able to roll up your sleeves from time to time to understand the technical systems.
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and able to come to the office 3x per week.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience working on a 0-to-1 product.
• Experience working on B2B product and/or developer tools.

The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from $275,000 to $300,000, plus a competitive equity package.

At Postman, we embrace a hybrid work model.
