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.
What You’ll Do
- Value Acceleration at Scale: You'll unblock customers facing everything from basic setup issues to complex architectural challenges. However, your role isn’t just to fix individual problems – your goal is to identify patterns and build solutions that prevent those problems from happening again. When you solve for one customer, you're solving for hundreds.
- Technical Discovery and Solutioning: Partner with CSMs to understand the business objectives, then translate those into technical reality. This means deep technical discovery, understanding their entire stack, and designing implementation paths that actually work in production. No theoretical solutions – everything needs to be battle-tested and deployable.
- 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.
You should have:
- 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
- Fluent in German
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.
What Else?
In addition to Postman's pay-on-performance philosophy, and a flexible schedule working with a fun, collaborative team, Postman offers a comprehensive set of benefits, including full medical coverage, flexible PTO, wellness reimbursement, and a monthly lunch stipend.

Our frequent and fascinating team-building events will keep you connected, while our donation-matching program can support the causes you care about.

At Postman we value in person collaboration. We are in office 5 days a week for all roles based out of our hubs in San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Austin, New York City, Tokyo and London. For roles based in Bangalore, employees currently work in the office three days a week and will transition to five days per week by the end of the year. We were thoughtful in our approach which is based on collaboration and grounded in feedback from our workforce, leadership team, and peers. The benefits of our in office model will be shared knowledge, brainstorming sessions, communication, and building trust in-person that cannot be replicated via zoom.
