• Led engineering execution for a company-level Pricing & Packaging initiative involving plan redesign, add-on deprecation, billing changes, and customer migrations. • Designed zero-downtime migration workflows for large-scale plan transitions using background jobs, event-driven processing, validation, and safe rollout mechanisms. • Built billing logic for add-on-to-seat conversion, recurring discounts, pricing continuity, and plan-transition edge cases to preserve customer experience during migrations. • Improved billing-platform correctness by building event-driven post-processing flows for subscription changes, ARR updates, audit logs, trial handling, usage resets, and downstream sync. • Improved ARR accuracy by deriving revenue values from billing-provider line items, reducing inconsistencies across Finance, Data, and internal reporting workflows. • Built internal tooling for ARR backfills and support workflows, reducing manual dependency and improving operational turnaround for Finance and Support teams. • Partnered with IAM, Workspace, Sync, Data, Product, Finance, and Infrastructure teams to deliver cross-functional monetization initiatives safely. • Delivered backend work for Agent Mode Monetization, Professional Services Add-ons, Expansion, Early Renewal, cancellation improvements, Growfin migration, checkout updates, PayPal POC, multi-currency POC, Chargebee POC, and BIL integrations. • Reduced noisy billing-service validation failures by collaborating with IAM and simplifying unnecessary validation paths, improving monitoring signal and system reliability. • Migrated Feature Service from Sails to Photon, Postman’s internal Node.js framework, improving service performance and reducing average response time by 32%. • Supported multi-region expansion and EU Lambda migration by provisioning, validating, and stabilizing squad-owned services across AWS regions.

• Built discounts architecture to track sales-issued discounts end-to-end and improve visibility into revenue generated through discounted purchases. • Designed Trial Events Notification architecture to capture plan and trial lifecycle events consumed by downstream services. • Enabled self-serve Enterprise purchases and implemented recommended-plan logic on the Plans & Pricing page to improve plan discovery and conversion. • Collaborated with Finance to enable sales-tax support across multiple jurisdictions, improving billing compliance and correctness. • Automated cancellation-request workflows across backend, client, batch processing, and email templates, reducing manual operations and improving customer experience. • Implemented invitation support for solutions, enabling users to be invited directly into solution workflows after acceptance. • Added client-side Amplitude instrumentation to track user journeys and improve visibility into product engagement.

Engineering at Postman | Backend, Billing & Monetization Platforms

About

I’m a backend-focused software engineer working on billing, monetisation, and platform systems at Postman. Most of my work sits close to revenue-critical infrastructure: pricing and packaging, subscriptions, checkout, trials, discounts, ARR systems, billing migrations, tax workflows, and operational tooling. I enjoy building systems where correctness, reliability, and scale matter. My engineering interests include: - Backend architecture and distributed systems - Billing and monetisation platforms - Event-driven workflows and background jobs - Large-scale migrations - Observability, reliability, and operational excellence - Building clean, maintainable systems in Node.js and AWS I like solving ambiguous backend problems, turning complex business rules into reliable systems, and collaborating across Product, Finance, Data, IAM, Workspace, Infrastructure, and Support teams.
