SummaryTemporal is an open source programming model that can simplify code, make applications more reliable, and help developers focus on the important things like delivering features faster. We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen.

- Partner with engineering to improve worker tuning, resource efficiency, and scaling behavior across diverse compute environments
- Collaborate with customers and community to understand worker deployment pain points and validate solution directions
- Strong background in compute platforms: serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run, App Engine), container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS), or similar infrastructure
- Experience building developer-facing products where deployment simplicity and operational excellence are key differentiators
- Familiarity with autoscaling systems, workload scheduling, and resource optimization at scale
- Understanding of code versioning, deployment strategies, and the developer experience challenges of long-running stateful systems
- Proven ability to translate complex infrastructure capabilities into intuitive developer experiences
- A pragmatic, customer-focused product management approach with strong technical communication skills
- The estimated pay range for this role is $180,000 - $230,000, depending on qualifications and location
- Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
