Postman Specialist

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Postman Specialist (SME) to create realistic, challenging computer-based tasks using Postman and related API testing workflows. You will design practical Postman tasks, document them clearly in SuperAnnotate, ensure your setup supports the task, and record yourself executing the task on your computer.

Tasks may include creating API requests, configuring headers, parameters, authentication, environments, collections, variables, test scripts, response validation, documentation, mock APIs, import/export workflows, or troubleshooting API errors. Your work will help train advanced AI models to better understand how real users complete API testing and developer-tool workflows.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your Postman expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by teaching them how real users complete practical API testing, debugging, documentation, and workflow validation tasks.

Responsibilities

• Create realistic Postman tasks: Come up with realistic and challenging tasks that can be executed on the computer using Postman, then document the task clearly in SuperAnnotate.
• Prepare the work environment: Ensure your setup supports the task, including having Postman installed or accessible, test APIs available, sample payloads prepared, environments configured, and any required references ready before recording.
• Record task execution: Record yourself executing the Postman task on your computer while following project instructions and ensuring the workflow is clear, complete, realistic, and safe.
• Document task context: Provide enough task context, steps, goals, endpoints, payloads, files, and notes so reviewers can understand what the task is and how it was completed.
• Demonstrate practical software use: Complete workflows involving requests, headers, parameters, authentication, environments, collections, variables, response validation, test scripts, documentation, or troubleshooting where relevant.
• Maintain submission quality: Review your recording and documentation before submission to ensure the task is complete, understandable, realistic, safe, and aligned with project guidelines.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience using Postman for API requests, testing, collections, environments, variables, authentication, documentation, or debugging workflows.
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher to understand project instructions, document tasks clearly, and communicate with the project team.
• Comfortable using a computer, developer tools, browser-based or desktop Postman, API documentation, files, and recording workflows.
• Ability to come up with realistic and challenging Postman tasks that reflect actual API testing, QA, backend, integration, automation, documentation, or developer workflows.
• Strong understanding of Postman basics such as HTTP methods, URLs, headers, query parameters, request bodies, status codes, variables, environments, collections, and authentication.
• Ability to ensure your setup supports the task, including having Postman installed or accessible, test APIs available, credentials/tokens handled safely, sample payloads prepared, and any required references ready before recording.
• High attention to detail when preparing the task, executing the workflow, and checking that the recording is complete, safe, and understandable.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
• Additional professional skills are appreciated, including QA, backend development, API testing, DevOps, coding, technical support, documentation, operations, or other computer-based workflows.
