  • Act as a trusted technical advisor to Postman customers, helping them understand and navigate their API strategies and identify opportunities for Postman's products and services to add value.
  • Collaborate with the sales and customer success teams to provide technical guidance during the pre-sales, onboarding, and ongoing support processes.
  • Develop and deliver customer-facing presentations, demos, and workshops to demonstrate the value of Postman's solutions and help customers optimize their API management processes.
  • Gather customer feedback and insights to inform product development and enhancements, acting as the voice of the customer within the organization.
  • Stay current on industry trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies, ensuring Postman remains at the forefront of API development and management.
  • Collaborate with the product, engineering, and marketing teams to create technical content, including whitepapers, blog posts, and case studies that showcase Postman's expertise and value proposition.
  • Represent Postman at industry conferences, webinars, and other events, sharing knowledge and building brand awareness.
  • Support the development of strategic partnerships and integrations with other technology providers to expand Postman's ecosystem and capabilities.
  • Mentor and coach internal team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.
About You
  • 10+ years of experience in software development, architecture, or a related field, with a strong focus on API development, management, and strategy.
  • Proven experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as solutions architect, technical consultant, or field CTO.
  • In-depth knowledge of API technologies, protocols, and industry best practices.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong customer-centric mindset, with a commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences and building lasting relationships.
  • Demonstrated ability to stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and competitive landscape.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, high-growth technology or SaaS company.
  • A bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field; a master's degree or relevant certifications are a plus.
