• Create new managed compute primitives that feel first-class in Temporal Cloud: crisp abstractions, clean APIs, and an extension story across compute providers.
• Design self-optimizing autoscaling systems (signals, backstops, debouncing, guardrails) that scale worker fleets safely and predictably.
• Define the Open Source Server ↔ Cloud boundary for compute capabilities, keeping the architecture cohesive and maintainable.
• Architect, build, and operate services on the hot path of task execution where performance and correctness are customer-visible.
• Deliver real-world cloud integrations (e.g., customer-account execution): IAM boundaries, secure credentials handling, networking constraints, quotas, and failure modes.
• Make operability a feature: SLOs, tracing/metrics, load and failure testing, incident reviews, and continuous hardening.
• Ship end-to-end: API design, rollout strategy, backwards compatibility, and long-term maintenance.
• Raise the bar through design docs, strong reviews, pragmatic technical leadership, and mentorship.
• Lead through influence across teams (Server, SDKs, Security, Control Plane) to land coherent platform changes.
