Temporal Technologies - Senior Software Engineer, Open Source Server
Requirements
• 12+ years of experience building and operating production distributed systems. • Strong technical leadership experience, including leading design work, aligning engineers, and driving complex projects to completion. • Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, fault tolerance, scheduling, and performance. • Production experience with Go, Java, or a similar backend language. • Experience with high-scale or performance-critical systems, such as request serving paths, task queues, scheduling systems, streaming or replication pipelines, rate limiting, sharding, load balancing, workflow engines, or orchestration systems. • Good operational instincts. You care about reliability, observability, debugging, incident response, and making systems easier to run. • Experience designing APIs, primitives, or platform features that other developers use. • Experience working with open source systems or communities. • Experience with cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure or GCP experience is a plus. • Experience with systems such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, ClickHouse, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, or MySQL is a plus. • Experience with Kubernetes controllers, CRDs, KEDA, or Argo is a plus. • What Makes You a Good Fit • You like working on deep systems problems, but you also care about the people who have to use and operate the system. • You are comfortable joining a large codebase, building context, and finding the right place to make an impact. • You do not need to know Temporal already, but you should be excited to work on the core of a distributed system used by a large open source community and enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
• Lead the design and implementation of important server features, from proposal through rollout. • Help set technical direction for one or more areas of the OSS Server team. • Work on distributed systems problems across areas such as task matching, scheduling, workflow execution, visibility, quotas, throttling, persistence, developer primitives, and workflow lifecycle features. • Make practical tradeoffs across reliability, performance, operability, product needs, and open source usability. • Partner with engineers, product managers, cloud teams, and customer-facing teams to turn hard problems into clear technical plans. • Improve how we build and run the server through better testing, observability, dashboards, alerts, runbooks, and documentation. • Review designs and code, mentor engineers, and help the team make good technical decisions.
Benefits
• The estimated pay range for this role is $176,000 - $237,600. • Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
