Role
Who you are
- You're the right candidate if you can reason about backend development, read and write code, and turn complex technical ideas into clear, persuasive, and compelling content for engineers
- Strong candidates may come from Marketing, Engineering, DevRel, Product, or hybrid backgrounds
- We value the skill set over the job title: if you can think in code and write with empathy, we want to hear from you
- 3-5+ years of technical writing experience in an engineering, DevRel, solutions, platform, marketing, or similar role within a tech, SaaS, or B2B environment
- Proven ability to write clear, engaging, and technically accurate content for a developer audience (please provide writing samples or a portfolio link)
- Comfort reading and writing code in languages such as Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, or similar
- Solid understanding of backend and distributed systems concepts such as retries, state, idempotency, orchestration, queues, and failure handling
- Excellent interviewing skills and the ability to extract meaningful technical insights from customers and engineers
- Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams
Desirable
- Experience writing about distributed systems, developer platforms, or infrastructure
- Background in DevRel, technical marketing, or open-source communities
- Familiarity with modern AI systems, agentic architectures, or data pipelines
- Hands-on experience with Temporal or a different workflow orchestration platform
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Technical Writer to produce high-quality, developer-facing content about distributed systems concepts
- You'll work closely with the content team, engineers, and customers to create content that's technically rigorous, opinionated, and genuinely useful
- Create "High-Floor" Content: Write highly technical blog posts, landing pages, email sequences, and ads that respect the reader's intelligence, featuring code, architectural diagrams, and honest discussions of production tradeoffs
- Drive the Narrative: Translate complex distributed systems concepts like Durable Execution, idempotency, and compensation logic into opinionated content that speaks peer-to-peer with engineers
- Customer Storytelling: Produce developer-focused case studies and customer co-marketing content that highlight real-world use cases
- Collaborate with SMEs: Work with engineering subject matter experts and customers to deeply understand systems, workflows, and design decisions
- Own the Content Lifecycle: Take content from research and interviews through drafting, iteration, and publication
- Develop Your Craft: Refine your technical writing skills and deepen your understanding of distributed systems concepts
Our take
The growing complexity of modern software systems places a strain on developers, making applications harder to plan, build, and test. While cloud-native services simplify experiences for end users, they introduce new challenges for developers, like around managing state in distributed, microservices-based architectures. Temporal Technologies addresses this problem with an MIT-licensed platform that identifies and manages applications tate, so developers can built reliable, scalable systems with more confidence.
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 in 2022 and now has a valuation of over $2.5B. Its most recent funding came in at $146M and with this, Temporal plans to move into the next chapter in its space: AI, as well as focusing on R&D, putting it in a good position within the evolving market.
