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

• Generate the area strategy that connects primitives, connectivity, and composition into a coherent thesis - what expands, why, and how investments compound • Frame the problem space and make bets - which primitives need investment, which are mature, and where the next leverage point is • Drive 1-pagers and PRDs for primitive improvements and new capabilities • Own cross-SDK delivery for each primitive - coordinate with SDK teams to ensure consistent behavior across Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, and .NET • Run customer validation - identify who's hitting primitive gaps, gather evidence, and use it to prioritize • Drive primitive correctness - defaults, error messages, silent failures, cancellation, timeouts • Act as domain lead for the primitives area; could take on Senior PMs as the area matures • Partner with engineering leadership to shape technical direction, not just product requirements • Represent the primitives perspective in product-staff reviews and company-level planning

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of product management experience, with significant time on platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products • Track record of generating area-level strategy - framing the problem space, making bets, connecting investments into a thesis. Strong execution on individual features isn't sufficient signal for this role • You've defined what a platform area becomes, not just shipped what was on the roadmap • You can hold a coherent vision across multiple primitives that ship on different timelines to different language ecosystems • You've driven complex cross-team delivery - shipping features across multiple SDKs or client libraries, coordinating without direct authority • You can go deep on technical behavior - you understand the difference between a timeout and a cancellation, and why it matters for the developer • You're rigorous about customer evidence - you don't prioritize based on intuition when data exists • You've partnered with engineering leadership, not just engineering teams - you influence technical direction, not just product requirements

🏖️ 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!
