About the Team

The Client Platform organization is dedicated to paving the way for building, testing, and deploying Postman’s web and desktop applications. We are responsible for frameworks, design systems, SDKs, build tools, and shared infrastructure that product engineers rely on daily. The UI Platform group is focused on developing reliable, accessible, and high-performance UI foundations that are used across Postman.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Client Platform team, you will play a key role in shaping the front-end infrastructure that Postman depends on. This encompasses the design system and reusable components that enhance both web and desktop experiences.

  • Enhance front-end architecture, including component libraries, layout patterns, theming, and global UI behaviors.
  • Develop specialized UI components as needed (e.g., editors, grids, structured data components) with a focus on performance and usability.
  • Ensure components meet accessibility standards, keyboard interaction patterns, and internationalization/localization requirements.
  • Assist product teams in embracing UI Platform components and patterns, offering guidance and identifying opportunities to simplify or expand the platform.
