The immediate work is to land the in-flight Nexus developer experience and operator-control work with quality. The longer-term mandate is to shape the next wave: Connector Ecosystem, Service Hub, and Agentic Communication Fabric.\nThis is not a “write specs and wait” role. The PM will need to build trust quickly with engineering, customers, field teams, and GTM; understand the product hands-on; turn messy customer evidence into sequencing decisions; and create the narrative that helps Temporal, customers, and partners understand where Nexus is going.\nWhat You’ll Own\nNexus product strategy and roadmap. Prioritize the work that makes Nexus the durable connectivity layer across teams, namespaces, services, and AI systems.\n\nCurrent execution. Drive completion of in-flight work such as the new Nexus developer experience, Standalone Nexus Operations, connector foundations, caller identity, rate limits, and payload encryption.\n\nCustomer discovery and evidence. Stay close to design partners and strategic customers like Netflix, Duolingo, and Miro.\n\nDeveloper and operator experience. Balance SDK ergonomics, schema-first contracts, codegen, service discovery, security, visibility, and control-plane needs.\n\nCross-functional launch and enablement. Make sure everyone in the company understands the problems Nexus solves and knows how to sell / deploy / support it.\n\nSuccess metrics. Define adoption and momentum measures: activated accounts, completed Nexus operations, shared-service usage, SDK coverage, design-partner progress, and field readiness.\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\nStaff-level product judgment. 8+ years in product management or equivalent experience turning ambiguous and technical strategy into shipped outcomes.\n\nStrong technical depth. Ability to reason about distributed systems, workflow orchestration, service-to-service communication, APIs, SDKs, identity, and authorization.\n\nDeveloper-platform experience. Experience with infrastructure, platforms, integrations, APIs, SDKs, service mesh, API gateways, or cloud developer products.\n\nCustomer and field orientation. Comfortable working directly with senior technical customers and enabling GTM teams on a complex product.\n\nExcellent writing and narrative skills. Able to create crisp strategy docs, roadmap narratives, launch materials, and decision memos.\n\nExecution discipline. Can inherit a complicated roadmap, clarify ownership, unblock decisions, and keep the team focused.\n\nWho You Are\nYou want to build important infrastructure. You’re motivated by products that sit in the critical path for customers and developers. You want to work on something foundational, technically deep, and category-defining.\n\nYou operate with ownership. You don’t measure your job by meetings, specs, or process completed. You measure it by customer outcomes, product adoption, team clarity, and whether the right work actually ships.\n\nYou move fast without being reckless. Nexus sits in the reliability layer for mission-critical systems. You know when to push for speed, when to insist on rigor, and how to keep momentum without compromising customer trust.\n\nYou’re resilient in ambiguity. You’re energized by unclear ownership, messy customer evidence, technical constraints, and hard sequencing calls. You don’t need a perfect roadmap handed to you - you help create one.\n\nYou raise the bar for the people around you. You write clearly, invite feedback, give it directly, and help teams make better decisions. You make complex work easier for others to understand and execute.\n\nYou put developers and customers first. You want to understand how real teams build distributed systems, where their current tools fail them, and what would make Temporal indispensable in their architecture.\n\nBonus Points\nExperience with Temporal, workflow orchestration, durable execution, service mesh, API gateways, or distributed systems\n\nExperience with schema registries, code generation, SDK design, or developer portals\n\nExperience with AI infrastructure, agent platforms, MCP/tool registries, or agentic systems\n\nPrior DevRel, Solutions Architecture, technical marketing, or partner-facing product experience\n\nWhy This Role Matters\nNexus is past GA and entering breadth. Adoption is real, but the next challenge is expansion across more teams, accounts, and use cases.\n\nThe foundation is landing now. Developer experience, connector foundations, and operator controls are the near-term unlocks.\n\nThe next wave is strategically important. Connector Ecosystem, Service Hub, and Agentic Communication Fabric could define how Temporal participates in the modern AI and service-connectivity stack.\n\nYou’ll shape an important product category. Nexus sits between durable execution, service-to-service communication, platform engineering, and AI systems.\n\nTemporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
