AI-Native Staff Product Designer, AI + Compute

Temporal makes the open-source durable execution platform of the same name and runs Temporal Cloud. As AI agents move into production they need something that keeps them running through failures, retries and long waits, and Temporal wants to be that foundation. This staff designer shapes how developers build, run and scale agents on Temporal, from the agent platform and harness down to the compute and workers that execute them.

You would design the experiences for building, deploying and observing agentic workloads across Agent Platform, Agent Harness and Serverless Workers, and own the compute experience end to end, from configuring and scaling workers to understanding usage and cost. The work spans the Cloud UI, CLI, SDKs and documentation. You would also build future-state prototypes with design leadership, partner with product and engineering from discovery to delivery, and extend Temporal's design system for agentic use cases.

Temporal is looking for 8+ years of product design, including senior or staff-level ownership of complex technical products, a solid grasp of compute and infrastructure concepts such as workers, scaling, queues and resource usage, and a portfolio of 0 to 1 work in developer tools, B2B or infrastructure products. Experience designing AI-powered or agent products, daily use of AI tools such as Claude or Codex, comfort in GitHub and the terminal, and hands-on Figma are expected. Distributed systems, serverless or container orchestration knowledge and some HTML, CSS and JavaScript are a plus.
