Company mission
To remove the complexity in developing reliable software for the cloud.
Role
Who you are
- Strong coding ability, especially in languages used at Temporal (e.g., Go, Java, or similar)
- Solid understanding of concurrency, distributed systems, and multi‑threaded programming
- Experience contributing to backend systems, tooling, infrastructure, or developer workflows
- Track record of solving moderately complex problems with reliable, maintainable solutions
- Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote, fast‑paced environment
- Familiarity with release automation concepts, CI/CD pipelines, build tools, or deployment orchestration
- Experience with cloud environments (AWS, GCP) and container tooling
- Exposure to distributed systems orchestration, observability tooling, or platform engineering
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (or Software Engineer II) to join our Release Engineering team, focused on building and improving the systems that enable automated, reliable, and scalable software delivery across Temporal’s platform
- In this role, you will participate in the full software lifecycle — from design and implementation to deployment and long‑term operation — and will collaborate with engineering teams to evolve release automation, improve tooling, and reduce manual steps in how we build and ship Temporal
- Design, build, and maintain tools and systems that support release automation and deployment workflows
- Write clean, reliable, and concurrent code that supports distributed systems (e.g., build pipelines, deployment tooling)
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to understand and improve release quality and developer productivity
- Document technical designs, deployment practices, and operational procedures
- Participate in small‑team design reviews and contribute practical engineering solutions
- Explore new ways to use Temporal to power the release and deployment lifecycle
- Deepen your understanding of Temporal’s architecture and service interactions
- Experiment with new automation patterns, testing strategies, and workflow designs that increase release confidence
Our take
The complexity of modern software systems puts a major strain on developers as it makes products difficult to plan, build and test. Cloud-native services simplify life for end-users, but app developers unfamiliar with the challenges of state management behind the construction of microservices. As the leading state management systems company, Temporal Technologies is an MIT licensed platform for unifying and managing application state.
The company offers an open source microservices orchestration platform, giving developers more time to code, while Temporal manages the scalability and reliability. The company’s technology is used to solve state management at an impressive list of cloud and tech companies, including Netflix, Doordash, Snap, and Google Cloud.
The company has achieved unicorn status with a valuation of over $1.5 billion following its early 2022 Series B. Temporal plans to use its latest Series "B-Prime" 2023 funding to continue growing its open-source community, and developing new features for its cloud offering.
