Staff AI-Native Product Designer, Product - Nexus

Temporal makes the open-source durable execution platform of the same name and runs Temporal Cloud. This staff designer owns the user experience for Nexus, Temporal's cross-namespace connectivity features, which let workflows in different namespaces talk to each other.

The job is to make hard distributed-systems ideas clear to the developers and operators who use them. You would lead design for Nexus from early problem framing through detailed interaction design, testing and delivery, across Temporal Cloud screens, developer workflows, APIs and documentation. That includes high-fidelity designs and prototypes covering edge cases, errors, permissions and recovery, plus reusable patterns that feed into Temporal's design system.

Temporal wants significant experience leading design for complex technical products such as developer tools, infrastructure or SaaS, a portfolio with strong information architecture and shipped work, and comfort partnering closely with product and engineering. Experience with distributed systems, workflow orchestration or developer platforms is a plus. There is no on-call.

Pay is $153,600 to $252,000 a year depending on US location tier, plus equity. Remote in the United States or Canada, with occasional in-person team sessions and offsites.
