Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Applications

Temporal makes the open-source durable execution platform of the same name and runs Temporal Cloud. This team owns core customer-facing parts of Temporal Cloud: Namespaces, the unit of isolation with its own security boundary and gRPC endpoint, plus Audit Logs and Export, which give customers their operational and compliance data.

As a senior engineer you would lead design and delivery for the services behind namespace scale and reliability and the data products built on them. That means designing high-throughput data pipelines with sensible trade-offs on freshness, cost, tenant isolation and fault tolerance, defining durable event schemas with analytics and product engineers, building schema contracts and anomaly detection so bad numbers never reach customers, and improving observability, incident response and tooling for the team. The stack is Go on Kubernetes, with PostgreSQL, Redshift, S3 and other object stores, Kinesis and Firehose, and warehouses such as Snowflake, Databricks, ClickHouse and BigQuery.

Temporal wants deep experience shipping production backend systems in the cloud, strong Go or another backend language, hands-on distributed-systems and data-pipeline work, production operations experience including on-call, and clear design-doc writing.

Pay is $140,800 to $231,000 a year depending on US location tier, plus equity. Remote in the United States.
