Job Description

Staff Software Engineer optimizing AI systems for Temporal Technologies. Leading innovations in AI Foundations for performance and quality enhancements.

Responsibilities:

  • Work as a software engineer
  • Maintain and expand a deep understanding of agentic coding
  • Design and build agentic coding systems that we can trust to deliver high-quality outputs
  • Develop a deep understanding of AI application development patterns and techniques, including emerging approaches and architectures.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of new features, working with other teams to deliver exceptional reliability and a great developer experience.
  • Work with multiple programming languages: Python and TypeScript, Java, Go.
  • Serve as a domain expert on AI design patterns, collaborating with field staff to provide best-practices and canonical examples.
  • Work directly with our developer community to debug issues that need expert attention and get feedback on Temporal features and APIs.
  • Write public technical documentation describing Temporal concepts and APIs.
  • Go the extra mile to support a customer in need, on the rare occasion that our teams’ engineering expertise is needed.
  • Travel to meet your coworkers for a week once or twice a year.
  • Attend the occasional developer conference to talk about how great Temporal is (optional).

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of professional work experience.
  • Proven experience in optimizing AI systems using both machine learning and systems techniques
  • Experience and passion for harnessing generative AI, particularly for agents and coding.
  • A deep appreciation for how to use AI to improve quality, not only to increase quantity.
  • A sense of taste in code and software development practice. Your approach should be opinionated and thoughtful, but not dogmatic.
  • Fluency in multiple programming languages, and an affinity for learning new ones.
  • Deep experience with concurrent programming—you should know how to use mutexes, atomics, and other concurrency primitives safely.
  • Experience designing APIs and writing documentation for publicly-available libraries or modules.
  • Strong technical communication skills—written and verbal—in English.
  • BS or MS in Computer Science (or a closely-related degree), or equivalent work experience writing production-grade software.

Benefits:

  • Unlimited PTO, 12 Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays
  • 100% Premiums Coverage for Medical, Dental, and Vision
