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

• Set direction for AI-assisted development, end-to-end: Define the engineering-wide approach for safe, effective AI-assisted workflows (tooling standards, rollout strategy, and adoption). • Build frictionless paved paths: Identify and remove sources of friction in developer workflows; deliver a small set of deeply reliable, well-supported paved roads rather than many bespoke bypasses. • Internal AI platform strategy (build vs. buy): Own strategy and execution for internal agent runtimes and developer-facing AI systems (authoring, review, and automation workflows), including vendor evaluation and integrations. • Governance, cost, and measurement: Drive governance and cost management for AI tooling (usage measurement, guardrails, optimization) using clear metrics and frameworks (e.g., DORA/SPACE) to translate improvements into business outcomes.

🎯 Requirements

• A strong bias toward action, curiosity, and focus on impact. • Experience leading teams focused on developer productivity, DevEx, internal platforms, or engineering tooling. • Track record of driving adoption of new workflows and platforms across an engineering organization. • Ability to operate across boundaries and influence without direct ownership; comfort acting as an internal forward-deployed partner. • Strong coaching and feedback skills, creating an environment where engineers can grow and ship high-quality systems. • Experience evaluating and deploying AI coding tools, developer assistants, and/or LLM-based workflows and agents. • Intuition for when to adopt vs. build, and how to standardize without blocking innovation. • Strong software engineering background (backend, platform, or developer tools). • Familiarity with modern developer workflows and the systems that support them. • Ability to engage deeply in technical discussions around system design, safety guardrails, operational readiness, and tradeoffs. • Ability to translate ambiguous needs into clear guidance and systems. • Strong empathy for builders and their workflows (including non-traditional developers). • Experience prioritizing and communicating based on measurable impact, not just qualitative feedback. • Experience building measurement systems for tooling outcomes (adoption, reliability, cycle time, cost-to-serve, AI spend).

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited PTO, 12 Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays • 100% Premiums Coverage for Medical, Dental, and Vision • AD&D, LT & ST Disability, and Life Insurance (Standard & Supplemental Available) • Empower 401K Plan • Additional Perks for Learning & Development, Lifestyle Spending, In-Home Office Setup, Professional Memberships, WFH Meals, Internet Stipend and more!
