Senior Software Engineer - AI SDK

Experience and passion for harnessing generative AI, particularly for agents and coding. A deep understanding of how to use AI to increase quality, not only to increase quantity. A sense of taste in code and software development practice. Your approach should be opinionated and thoughtful, but not dogmatic. A track record of open source software contributions, including contributions to 3rd party libraries. Fluency in multiple programming languages, and an affinity for learning new ones. Deep experience with concurrent programming—you should know how to use mutexes, atomics, and other concurrency primitives safely. Experience designing APIs and writing documentation for publicly-available libraries or modules. Strong technical communication skills—written and verbal—in English. BS or MS in Computer Science (or a closely-related degree), or equivalent work experience writing production-grade software.

Design and implement Temporal AI SDK features supporting a broad variety of frameworks and libraries. Develop a deep understanding of AI application development techniques, including emerging approaches and architectures. Work with multiple programming languages, primarily Python and TypeScript. Make extensive use of AI coding tools, especially to ensure quality across a large number of integrations. Take end-to-end ownership of new features, working with other teams to deliver exceptional reliability and a great developer experience. Serve as a domain expert on AI design patterns, collaborating with field staff to provide best-practices and canonical examples. Work directly with our developer community to debug issues that need expert attention, and get feedback on Temporal SDK features and APIs. Write public technical documentation describing Temporal concepts and APIs. Go the extra mile to support a customer in need, on the rare occasion that AI SDK engineering expertise is needed. Travel to meet your coworkers for a week once or twice a year. Attend the occasional developer conference to talk about how great Temporal is (optional).
