Job Details

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.
Experience building cloud infrastructure platforms (Nice to have).
Experience with IAM/security boundaries for cross-account execution models (Nice to have).
Having built Kubernetes controllers / CRDs or heterogeneous worker fleet operations (Nice to have).

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.
