Job Description
Senior Software Engineer building critical systems for Temporal Cloud's customer experience at scale. Collaborating with engineers and product managers to design resilient architectures and improve reliability.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the Design of Business-Critical Systems: Own end-to-end technical design and delivery for the services that power namespace scalability, reliability, and the customer data products built on top of them.
- Bridge Instrumentation and Product Value: Partner with analytics and product engineers to ensure what gets collected actually powers meaningful customer insights; translate business questions into durable event schemas that outlast the feature that introduced them.
- Architect Data Pipelines for Scale and Correctness: Define and evolve our data pipeline architecture for high-throughput usage and operational data; make principled tradeoffs across data freshness, query cost, tenant isolation, and fault-tolerance.
- Drive Data Quality as a First-Class Concern: Establish schema contracts, pipeline-level anomaly detection, and alerting for silent failures — holding the line on data correctness before bad numbers reach customers.
- Raise the Engineering Bar: Set quality standards through code and design reviews; introduce patterns and tooling that improve maintainability, observability, and incident response across the team.
- Mentor and Multiply Impact: Grow the engineers around you, unblock execution, and foster a culture of ownership, learning, and pragmatic excellence.
- Improve Developer and Customer Experience: Identify opportunities to streamline customer flows via automation, better tooling, and targeted platform improvements that reduce friction and support load.
Requirements:
- Deep experience designing and delivering production-grade backend systems in cloud environments, with direct ownership over architecture and operational outcomes — including what happens when things go wrong.
- Strong proficiency in at least one systems or backend language (Go preferred), with the ability to navigate large codebases and drive technical decisions with confidence.
- Hands-on experience building and operating distributed systems: concurrency, reliability, scaling, consistency, and failure handling in production.
- Solid experience with data pipelines and storage systems (Postgres, Redshift, Kafka/Kinesis, S3-compatible storage, Clickhouse) and a track record of ensuring correctness and traceability at scale.
- Experience with production operations: observability, incident response, performance tuning, on-call readiness, and continuous delivery.
- Ability to work effectively across functions — translating ambiguous requirements from product managers and solutions architects into clear, executable technical plans.
- Strong written and verbal communication: you write crisp design docs, align stakeholders on tradeoffs, and can explain a complex system to someone who didn't build it.
- A builder's mindset: you enjoy simplifying complex workflows, improving tooling, and leaving systems better than you found them.
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
