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

• Build and lead Global Developer Success: Hire, coach, develop, retain, and performance-manage high-performing support engineers, managers, and specialists across tiers, regions, and customer segments. • Create the support operating system: Define SLAs/OLAs, ticket and Slack triage, queue ownership, severity definitions, tiering, escalation paths, incident communications, RCA standards, quality review, staffing, and operating cadence. • Raise the quality bar: Move beyond CSAT alone by measuring customer effort, touches to resolution, reopen rate, handoffs, recurrence, communication quality, resolution confidence, and customer-visible ownership. • Harden Slack and customer response: Turn premium Slack response into a defined service model with acknowledgement standards, urgent paths, conversion-to-ticket rules, coverage model, manager review, and customer-facing expectations. • Protect Engineering focus through better support: Reduce avoidable escalations by building runbooks, diagnostics, knowledge systems, reproducibility standards, technical triage, and high-quality escalation packets. • Lead escalation and incident discipline: Establish crisp roles for technical lead, escalation manager, communications owner, Support, Engineering, SA, Platform Architecture, and Sales. Ensure incidents and critical escalations are communicated with clarity and followed by useful RCAs. • Build technical depth and enablement: Create career paths, training, mentorship, certification, quality review, and hands-on learning that help junior engineers become senior/staff support engineers and help senior engineers scale their expertise. • Partner across the company: Work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Solutions Architecture, Platform Architecture, Customer Success, Docs, DevRel, and Services to ensure support signal turns into product, documentation, enablement, and customer lifecycle improvements. • Use tooling and AI pragmatically: Improve routing, deflection, summaries, analytics, knowledge surfacing, diagnostics, and customer communication while measuring real operating outcomes rather than tool adoption alone. • Represent Temporal with customers: Engage directly in strategic escalations, high-stakes incidents, enterprise support conversations, QBR/EBR inputs, and executive readouts when support experience affects customer trust.

🎯 Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in technical support, customer engineering, SRE, solutions engineering, infrastructure engineering, or similar customer-facing technical roles, with 5+ years leading support or customer-facing engineering teams. • Proven experience building and scaling technical support operations for a deeply technical B2B product, ideally in developer tools, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, observability, AI infrastructure, open source, or distributed systems within a GTM organization. • Experience managing managers and building the systems that make teams run: metrics, operating cadence, queue management, quality review, staffing models, tiering, escalation paths, and performance management. • Strong technical credibility with developers, support engineers, SREs, platform engineers, and product engineers. You can reason about APIs/SDKs, cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, observability, distributed systems, reliability, incident response, and debugging workflows. • Track record reducing avoidable Engineering escalations while improving the quality of product and engineering signal when escalations are needed. • Deep understanding of support quality metrics: response time, resolution time, customer effort, touches, reopens, recurrence, backlog, SLA/OLA attainment, deflection, CSAT, sentiment, and case quality. • Strong customer communication skills in high-pressure situations. You can write crisp updates, lead customer-facing RCA conversations, set expectations, and coach others to communicate clearly. • Clear philosophy for hiring, onboarding, leveling, progression, coaching, retention, and performance management for technical support engineers and support managers. • High ownership and builder mindset. You create clarity in ambiguous systems, ship v1 processes quickly, and iterate with data and customer evidence.
