Harshit Kumar Gupta — Software Engineer
Software Development Engineer at Postman with 2.5+ years of experience building scalable distributed systems, backend platforms, and high-performance APIs serving millions of users globally. My journey began with an internship focused on cloud engineering using AWS IoT and Python, where I discovered my passion for designing systems that operate reliably at massive scale. Since then, I’ve worked across backend infrastructure, real-time data systems, partner integrations, and developer-focused platforms. Currently at Postman, I’m focused on building scalable backend services and developer platform capabilities that improve API workflows, reliability, and performance for teams worldwide. Previously at Amazon Ring, I worked as an SDE II building distributed backend systems using Go and Java for real-time data flows and partner ecosystems. I led initiatives that significantly improved performance and operational reliability, including: • Reduced API latency from 600ms to 40ms through DynamoDB architecture redesign • Built scalable APIs that improved response times by 30% • Increased partner ecosystem integrations by 15%, contributing over $100K in monthly revenue • Developed disaster recovery systems that reduced production incidents by 33% • Built custom connectors serving 10M+ global users I enjoy solving complex engineering problems at scale, especially around distributed systems, backend architecture, developer infrastructure, and cloud-native applications. Beyond work, I actively explore AI-assisted development tools like Amazon Q, Cursor, and Kiro, and collaborate on web development and developer tooling projects.
