The Role
You'll be Postman's first IT team member in EMEA, providing hands-on support to the region, maintaining local office infrastructure, and bridging the gap between US and India-based teams. This is a foundational hire: you'll establish follow-the-sun coverage for the growing EMEA workforce and shape how IT operates in the region from day one.
What You'll Do
- Provide direct IT support to Postman employees across EMEA time zones, including troubleshooting, account management, hardware support, and onboarding/offboarding.
- Serve as the regional IT point of contact for the UK office and remote EMEA employees.
- Manage local hardware inventory, including provisioning, shipping, and refresh for EMEA-based team members.
- Maintain and support office IT infrastructure (network, AV, conference rooms) for the UK office.
- Collaborate with US and India IT teams to ensure seamless handoffs and consistent service quality across time zones.
- Identify and escalate regional issues, whether that's a vendor that doesn't work well in EMEA or a process that assumes everyone is in Pacific time.
- Contribute to global IT documentation and knowledge base, ensuring EMEA-specific nuances are captured.
- Support regional compliance requirements (GDPR-related IT controls, data residency considerations).
About You
- 3+ years in IT operations or support, ideally in a tech company environment.
- Strong Mac support skills. Postman is an Apple-first environment, and you should be comfortable with macOS troubleshooting, Jamf, and Apple Business Manager.
- Experience with Okta (or similar IdP) for user lifecycle management, SSO troubleshooting, and access provisioning.
- Familiarity with SaaS administration tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and Atlassian.
- Self-directed and comfortable working independently. You'll be the only IT person in the region initially, so you need to be resourceful and proactive.
- Strong communication skills and a service-oriented mindset. You're representing IT to every employee in the region.
- Ability to work collaboratively across time zones with US and India-based teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience as the first or early IT hire in a region. You know what it takes to build from scratch.
- Familiarity with GDPR and its implications for IT operations (data handling, device management, etc.).
- Network infrastructure experience (Meraki, Cisco, or similar) for office support.
- Experience with endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools like CrowdStrike.
Why This Role Matters
Follow-the-sun coverage is an operational necessity as Postman grows internationally. This role eliminates the gap where EMEA employees are underserved, ensures consistent service quality regardless of geography, and lays the groundwork for IT's regional presence as the company continues to expand.
The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from €50,000 to €70,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
What Else?
In addition to Postman's pay-on-performance philosophy, and a flexible schedule working with a fun, collaborative team, Postman offers a comprehensive set of benefits, including full medical coverage, flexible PTO, wellness reimbursement, and a monthly lunch stipend. Along with that, our wellness programs will help you stay in the best of your physical and mental health. Our frequent and fascinating team-building events will keep you connected, while our donation-matching program can support the causes you care about. We’re building a long-term company with an inclusive culture where everyone can be the best version of themselves.
At Postman we value in person collaboration. We are in office 5 days a week for all roles based out of our hubs in San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Austin, New York City, Tokyo and London. For roles based in Bangalore, employees currently work in the office three days a week and will transition to five days per week by the end of the year. We were thoughtful in our approach which is based on collaboration and grounded in feedback from our workforce, leadership team, and peers. The benefits of our in office model will be shared knowledge, brainstorming sessions, communication, and building trust in-person that cannot be replicated via zoom.
Our Values
At Postman, we create with the same curiosity that we see in our users. We value transparency and honest communication about not only successes, but also failures. In our work, we focus on specific goals that add up to a larger vision. Our inclusive work culture ensures that everyone is valued equally as important pieces of our final product. We are dedicated to delivering the best products we can.
