The Opportunity

As a Senior Product Designer for Ecosystem, you will be responsible for shaping the future of our ecosystem platform and product integrations, driving innovation, and expanding our reach in API development and collaboration. You will design integrated cross-tool experiences that will empower teams to create, collaborate, manage, and scale their APIs and solutions. This position requires an obsessive interest in developer journeys, with a deep curiosity for understanding the broader developer ecosystem, and a passion for delivering exceptional developer experiences.

You are eager to get your hands dirty, wearing multiple hats to drive user outcomes, yet you can naturally up-level your strategic thinking. Your success will be measured by developer satisfaction and business impact, including active usage and revenue metrics.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and validate experiences that enable developers to work across their entire toolchain and Postman efficiently and effectively.

• Own the user experience from ideation to execution while working closely with your product, partnership and engineering stakeholders.

• Work with your product managers to strategically define UX goals and opportunities for cross-product developer workflows, keeping business outcomes such as active usage and revenue in mind.

• Research, gather, and consolidate customer insights (both qualitative and quantitative) to inform our strategy, priorities, requirements and use cases for the ecosystem platform and integrations.

• Produce design deliverables consistent with the Postman experience and brand standards.

• Advocate for functional best practices across the ecosystem and integrations teams, and collaborate with the broader design team to integrate integrations learnings into the Postman design system and language.

• Continuous social listening through Twitter, Github and Zendesk to better understand how people use Postman.

• Foster a vibrant developer community and implement feedback mechanisms to continuously improve developer satisfaction.

• Clearly and concisely communicate user concerns, motivations and feedback, both internally and externally. Be the voice of the user within your team

About You:

• You have 8+ years of experience in end-to-end design practices in companies solving interesting real-world pain points.

• Experience working with an experimentally driven product team. You work on hypotheses and validate rigorously to build conviction on your design approaches.

• You have an eye for well-designed, functional products (physical and digital)

• You can visually communicate an idea by creating quick, low fidelity mockups such as pencil sketches.

• You proactively seek feedback, tuning the fidelity of your work for the stage of product development. You can identify collaborative opportunities across the broader product and design org know how to curate your intended audience for feedback.

• You can create high fidelity mockups and prototypes to articulate detailed experiences and user interactions. You can validate these by doing quick usability tests against real users and build convictions on the ideas that you propose.

• You are an excellent communicator and continuously keep the broader team in the loop on the work that you’re doing, product goals that you’re aligning to, user insights you might discover and the success that you’re driving. You are comfortable collaborating across teams and locations.

• A good understanding of how APIs work and what Postman enables for developers is important. It’s okay if you’re not an expert as long as you take initiative and are curious to learn about how developer tools work together. Hands on development experience will be a great trait to have for this role.

• Familiarity with products that have mature extensibility, integrations and ecosystem frameworks such as Atlassian, Slack, Microsoft, Hubspot, Salesforce etc. will be desirable.
