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

• Define and drive the strategy for developer tooling across Temporal's platform - not just ship features, but make opinionated bets on how developers should test, debug, and deploy durable applications • Own the testing story end-to-end: make the strategic call on test infrastructure direction, define canonical patterns, and drive toward tests that developers actually trust • Own the deploy safety story: determine the right approach for pre-deploy compatibility checking and drive it from concept to shipped product • Unify the CLI into one coherent tool - for humans and AI agents - and define what the CLI becomes as AI-assisted development accelerates • Collapse the getting-started experience so new developers reach a working project in minutes with production-realistic patterns • Influence cross-SDK decisions - the tools you own work across Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, and .NET. You'll drive consistency without blocking SDK teams • Define the developer-to-operator handoff - where "I'm shipping" ends and "it's being operated" begins • Partner directly with engineering leadership to shape team priorities and technical direction • Represent the developer tooling perspective in product-staff reviews and company-level planning

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of product management experience, with significant time on developer tools, SDKs, CLIs, or developer infrastructure • You've defined and driven a tooling strategy, not just executed one - you made opinionated bets about how developers should work and shipped them • You've made build-vs-buy or keep-vs-deprecate decisions on developer-facing infrastructure and can articulate the tradeoffs years later • You can hold a coherent vision across multiple tools that ship on different timelines to different language ecosystems • You're comfortable operating in ambiguity - several of the biggest questions in this role don't have obvious answers yet • You write clearly, decide quickly, and change your mind when the evidence says to • You've partnered with engineering leadership, not just engineering teams - you influence technical direction, not just product requirements • You understand the difference between developer tooling and production operations, and you set that boundary clearly.

🏖️ 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!
