About the Team The Local Mode team is building Native Git Postman—the bet that an API platform should live where developers already are: in the repository, on the filesystem, right next to the code. Instead of building a separate integration for every Git host, we’ve built a Git integration directly around the filesystem. Collections, specifications, environments, flows, and mocks become plain files that move through branches, pull requests, and CI like any other source code. This foundation also makes agents genuinely useful in Postman. With filesystem, shell, and Git access, an agent can reproduce a failure, patch the code, verify the fix, and prepare the change for review. If you’ve shipped developer tooling or desktop-class infrastructure, enjoy owning ambiguous problems end to end, and have opinions about what developer workflows should look like in the agentic era, you’ll fit in quickly. The Role We’re looking for a Software Engineer who is energized by complex product and engineering challenges without obvious answers. You’ll help make Postman truly Git native by building workflows that feel natural to developers while remaining secure, reliable, and performant at scale. You’ll work at the intersection of product engineering, Git, local filesystems, desktop infrastructure, command-line tooling, synchronization, cloud services, and data systems. You’ll own problems from discovery and design through implementation, rollout, and iteration. What You’ll Do
