This team builds and operates critical parts of the Temporal Cloud customer experience, including Namespaces, Audit Logs, and Export.\nNamespaces 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.\nWe're looking for an engineer who is excited to learn these systems and contribute to their scalability, reliability, and developer experience. This is a hands-on role where you'll collaborate with experienced engineers, product managers and partner teams to design, build, and operate backend services and data pipelines while growing your distributed-systems expertise.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign, implement, test, and ship well-scoped features and improvements for Temporal Cloud with support from teammates.\n\nBuild and improve services that support namespace provisioning, configuration, scalability, and reliability.\n\nDevelop data pipelines that process high-volume usage and operational data across multiple tenants.\n\nMake thoughtful engineering tradeoffs with guidance, balancing data freshness, query cost, tenant isolation, reliability, and operational complexity.\n\nImprove service operability through tests, instrumentation, dashboards, alerts, runbooks, and documentation.\n\nParticipate in code reviews, design discussions, incident response, and production debugging.\n\nCollaborate across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to understand requirements and deliver scoped projects safely.\n\nImprove developer and customer experience through automation, better tooling, and incremental product improvements.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nExperience building and operating production backend systems in a cloud environment.\n\nProficiency in Go or another applicable backend or systems language, with the ability to ramp up in an existing codebase.\n\nStrong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, concurrency basics, testing, and debugging.\n\nWorking knowledge of distributed-systems concepts such as reliability, fault tolerance, consistency, scaling, and failure handling.\n\nExperience with databases, data pipelines, messaging systems, or object storage.\n\nThe ability to take a scoped problem, break it into smaller tasks, implement a solution end to end, and incorporate feedback.\n\nAn operational mindset, including familiarity with logging, metrics, tracing, deployment, and production troubleshooting.\n\nComfort collaborating across teams and communicating progress, risks, and technical tradeoffs clearly.\n\nA commitment to correctness, maintainability, and leaving systems better than you found them.\n\nNice to Have\n3+ years of work experience\n\nExperience with Go.\n\nExperience with PostgreSQL, Redshift, Kinesis, Firehose\n\nExperience with S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, or other object-storage systems.\n\nFamiliarity with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.\n\nExperience supporting on-call rotations, investigating incidents, or improving production observability.\n\nFamiliarity with Temporal concepts-or a strong interest in learning the platform.\n\nTechnology Stack\nPrimary language: Go\n\nData storage: PostgreSQL, Redshift, S3,Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, ClickHouse\n\nData processing: Kinesis, Firehose\n\nInfrastructure: Kubernetes\n\nCore framework: Temporal\n\n You do not need experience with every technology in our stack. We value strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn unfamiliar systems.\nTemporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
