The Opportunity

Postman is now at one of the most consequential inflection points in its history. Enterprises are rapidly shifting from human-driven API workflows tomulti-agent systems where AI agents autonomously discover call and collaborate with APIs tools CLIs and each other. Postman already owns the API design governance and lifecycle layer for the enterprise; the next frontier is owning the runtime layer for how agents actually interact with all of it.

Where Postman today is the API platform for human-first integration we are building Postman into the agent interface fabric for AI-first integration. That transformation starts with Fabric Gateway a brand new product being built from scratch that will serve as the policy-driven control plane governing how agents connect to APIs services and other agents at scale. This is a rare 0-to-1 opportunity inside a company with 40 million developers already in the ecosystem.

About the Team

The Fabric Gateway team is building the API gateway for the AI era one of Postmans most ambitious greenfield infrastructure products. Were a small high-ownership team working 0-to-1 designing and shipping the foundational primitives that will power how agents and applications connect to services securely at scale.
