Our team owns some of the most critical surface area in the product - Namespaces, Audit Logs, and Export. Namespaces are the core unit of isolation within Temporal Cloud, providing security boundaries, workflow management, unique identifiers, and dedicated gRPC endpoints. Audit Logs and Export give customers reliable access to the operational and compliance data they depend on.\nIn this role, you'll work on a new initiative, set technical direction and build systems that directly shape how customers provision, operate, and extract value from Temporal Cloud. You'll partner closely with engineers, product managers, and solutions architects to design resilient architectures, drive cross-functional execution, and raise the bar on reliability and scalability for our most critical features. If you thrive on ambiguous, high-leverage problems and take pride in building durable systems that grow with the business, we'd love to meet you.\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead the Design of Business-Critical Systems: Own end-to-end technical design and delivery for the services that power namespace scalability, reliability, and the customer data products built on top of them.\n\nBridge Instrumentation and Product Value: Partner with analytics and product engineers to ensure what gets collected actually powers meaningful customer insights; translate business questions into durable event schemas that outlast the feature that introduced them.\n\nArchitect Data Pipelines for Scale and Correctness: Define and evolve our data pipeline architecture for high-throughput usage and operational data; make principled tradeoffs across data freshness, query cost, tenant isolation, and fault-tolerance.\n\nDrive Data Quality as a First-Class Concern: Establish schema contracts, pipeline-level anomaly detection, and alerting for silent failures - holding the line on data correctness before bad numbers reach customers.\n\nRaise the Engineering Bar: Set quality standards through code and design reviews; introduce patterns and tooling that improve maintainability, observability, and incident response across the team.\n\nMentor and Multiply Impact: Grow the engineers around you, unblock execution, and foster a culture of ownership, learning, and pragmatic excellence.\n\nImprove Developer and Customer Experience: Identify opportunities to streamline customer flows via automation, better tooling, and targeted platform improvements that reduce friction and support load.\n\nTechnology Stack\nPrimary Language: Go\n\nData Storage: PostgreSQL, Redshift, S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage\n\nData Warehouse: Snowflake, Databricks, Clickhouse, Big Query\n\nData Processing: Kinesis, Firehose\n\nInfrastructure: Kubernetes\n\nCore Framework: Temporal (of course )\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\nDeep experience designing and delivering production-grade backend systems in cloud environments, with direct ownership over architecture and operational outcomes - including what happens when things go wrong.\n\nStrong proficiency in at least one systems or backend language (Go preferred), with the ability to navigate large codebases and drive technical decisions with confidence.\n\nHands-on experience building and operating distributed systems: concurrency, reliability, scaling, consistency, and failure handling in production.\n\nSolid experience with data pipelines and storage systems (Postgres, Redshift, Kafka/Kinesis, S3-compatible storage, Clickhouse) and a track record of ensuring correctness and traceability at scale.\n\nExperience with production operations: observability, incident response, performance tuning, on-call readiness, and continuous delivery.\n\nAbility to work effectively across functions - translating ambiguous requirements from product managers and solutions architects into clear, executable technical plans.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication: you write crisp design docs, align stakeholders on tradeoffs, and can explain a complex system to someone who didn't build it.\n\nA builder's mindset: you enjoy simplifying complex workflows, improving tooling, and leaving systems better than you found them.\n\nWhat You Can Expect\nHigh-impact ownership over systems tied directly to revenue, customer lifecycle, and platform scalability\n\nCollaborative engineering culture focused on quality, pragmatism, and measurable outcomes\n\nExceptional technical colleagues and a feedback-rich environment\n\nLean processes and autonomy without unnecessary bureaucracy\n\nStrong emphasis on reliability and operational excellence-balanced with rapid iteration\n\nA team that values mentorship, thoughtful design, and steady improvements that compound over time\n\nTemporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
