About Us
Temporal is an open source programming model that can simplify code, make applications more reliable, and help developers focus on the important things like delivering features faster. We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen.
Our values guide us —they are present in how we show up, make decisions, and work together to make an impact. We’re curious, driven, collaborative, genuine and humble.
Temporal is growing and we are looking for those who share our values, challenge 'standard' thinking, and want to influence our future. If you have a passion for improving the developer experience, building world-class open-source software and communities, and want to be a part of our amazing team, we'd love to hear from you!
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (or Staff level) 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.
What You'll Do
- 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.
What You’ll Learn
- 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.
