Sushma PujariThe Role
Postman builds the world’s leading API Development Environment. We help everyone from individual developers to enterprise teams to collaboratively build internal and external APIs. Over 8,000,000 developers and 400,000 organizations worldwide use Postman.
Our users LOVE our product and we continue to grow rapidly. Come join us!
Your writing will support and help explain the Postman API toolchain to a worldwide audience. We're seeking someone who can take complex information and communicate it clearly, concisely, and accurately. You will communicate with the Postman community through conceptual documentation, detailed developer guides, code samples, and other collateral.
Success at Postman requires interest and curiosity for all development & for APIs in particular - past experience working with APIs in some form is a huge plus. Postman's users are API developers, so the successful candidate should have an enthusiasm for working with a technical audience and colleagues. We're looking for someone who has a knack for making complex technical details sound simple, but someone who knows when too simple doesn't suit a technical audience.
