The Opportunity
As a Senior Product Designer for Partner Workspaces, you will be responsible for driving and accelerating the growth of our collaboration offerings that help teams work with partner APIs. Your work will empower teams to partner with other teams to build APIs, and sell their APIs and solutions to prospective customers. This position requires an obsessive interest in the role APIs play in modern businesses, with a deep curiosity for understanding the collaborative use cases around partner APIs, and a passion for delivering exceptional developer and partner experiences.
You are eager to get your hands dirty, wearing multiple hats to drive user outcomes. You thrive in a scrappy environment, always eager to determine the simplest way to test iterative improvements. As a core member of an early stage product, you will be required to be an advocate for the experiences you’re building, and regularly be in front of customers to help solve their real-world problems. Your success will be measured by user satisfaction and business impact, including active usage and revenue metrics.
What You’ll Do
- Design and validate experiences that enable teams to collaborate efficiently with partners to build or sell API capabilities.
- Own the user experience from ideation to execution while working closely with your product, engineering and GTM stakeholders.
- Work with 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 partner workspaces.
- Produce design deliverables consistent with the Postman experience and brand standards.
- 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 user 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 with successfully rolling out early-stage products and scaling them will be extremely valuable.
- 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 the 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.
The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from $190,000 to 225,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
