Temporal Technologies is a company that provides a platform for durable execution, helping developers build resilient applications by managing failures, network outages, and long-running processes. Their technology abstracts away the complexity of building scalable distributed systems, allowing developers to focus on delivering reliable systems faster. Temporal simplifies code by eliminating recovery logic, callbacks, and timers, making software more durable and fault tolerant. The platform supports a wide variety of applications, from transaction processing to applied AI, and is favored by developers for its ease of use and reliability. Temporal is open-source and offers both self-hosted and managed cloud services in multiple regions, enabling scalable, serverless application development.

📋 Description

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate security principles into the design and architecture of cloud infrastructure across multiple clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, and others). • Secure Temporal's core platform components, including the workflow engine, task queue architecture, and worker execution model - identifying attack surfaces unique to durable, stateful distributed systems. • Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors across our multi-cloud environment, with particular focus on workflow execution, task queue integrity, and client-server trust boundaries. • Secure Temporal's gRPC-based communication layer, including mTLS certificate management, service mesh configuration, and API authentication. • Manage cloud security posture using tools such as Wiz, including misconfiguration detection, compliance monitoring, and remediation across all three cloud providers. • Stay current on emerging cloud security standards and guidance (e.g. CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, CIS Benchmarks) and translate these into actionable internal policy. • Able to participate in on-call rotation.
