Job description
- The UI Platform group focuses on creating reliable, accessible, and performant UI foundations used across Postman
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the Client Platform team, you'll help shape the front-end foundations that Postman relies on
- This includes the design system and the reusable components that power both web and desktop experiences
- Your work will influence how hundreds of engineers build, improving consistency, performance, and the overall developer experience
- This is a hands-on role
- You'll build components, help define UI architecture, and partner with engineers and designers to turn ideas into scalable UI systems
- In practice, you'll push the UX layer forward, enabling teams to ship high-quality features without reinventing core patterns
- Evolve front-end architecture, including component libraries, layout patterns, theming, and global UI behaviors
- Implement specialized UI components where needed (e.g., editors, grids, structured data components) with a focus on performance and usability
- Ensure components support accessibility, keyboard interaction patterns, and internationalization/localization standards
- Support product teams in adopting UI Platform components and patterns, providing guidance and identifying opportunities to simplify or extend the platform
- Contribute to documentation, developer tooling, and internal processes that make it easier to build high-quality UI consistently
- Identify UI-related technical debt or architectural gaps and proactively drive improvements
- Mentor other engineers, participate in design reviews, and influence technical decision-making
Requirements
- Experience improving developer experience through process, documentation, and/or tooling
- You think beyond features and consider how systems evolve. You take ownership of problems, not solutions
- You care about performance, reliability, and the little things that make interfaces feel polished
- Able to independently lead medium-to-large technical projects and contribute thoughtfully to team-level architectural decisions
- You enjoy creating clean, scalable components and UI patterns that others depend on
- Experience creating and maintaining reusable component libraries or design systems
- Familiarity with accessibility and internationalization principles
- Strong knowledge of UI performance, including rendering costs, bundling, and responsive interaction patterns
- Deep understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript and React
- 6+ years building UI for complex web applications
- You communicate clearly and listen effectively. You seek new perspectives and build trust with your team and colleagues
