Information TechnologyInternetOpen SourceSoftware
Responsibilities
Create new managed compute primitives that feel first-class in Temporal Cloud: crisp abstractions, clean APIs, and an extension story across compute providers
Design self-optimizing autoscaling systems (signals, backstops, debouncing, guardrails) that scale worker fleets safely and predictably
Define the Open Source Server ↔ Cloud boundary for compute capabilities, keeping the architecture cohesive and maintainable
Architect, build, and operate services on the hot path of task execution where performance and correctness are customer-visible
Deliver real-world cloud integrations (e.g., customer-account execution): IAM boundaries, secure credentials handling, networking constraints, quotas, and failure modes
Make operability a feature: SLOs, tracing/metrics, load and failure testing, incident reviews, and continuous hardening
Ship end-to-end: API design, rollout strategy, backwards compatibility, and long-term maintenance
Raise the bar through design docs, strong reviews, pragmatic technical leadership, and mentorship
Lead through influence across teams (Server, SDKs, Security, Control Plane) to land coherent platform changes
Qualification
Required
Significant experience building distributed systems or multi-tenant platform services (design, implementation, and production operations)
Strong systems fundamentals: concurrency, performance, reliability, and failure-mode thinking
A record of shipping platform primitives used by other engineers/customers (APIs, control planes, data planes)
Comfort owning outcomes: SLOs, incident response, and improving on-call quality over time
Excellent written communication and crisp tradeoff thinking. (Go experience is a plus; judgment matters most.)
Preferred
Experience building cloud infrastructure platforms
Experience with IAM/security boundaries for cross-account execution models
Having built Kubernetes controllers / CRDs or heterogeneous worker fleet operations
