Temporal Technologies - Senior Developer Advocate, Developer Education
Requirements
• Strong software engineering background and the ability to build production-quality, real working examples in at least one of Temporal's primary SDK languages (Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, or .NET) • Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, including state management, fault tolerance, concurrency, and event-driven architectures • Demonstrated experience creating high-quality technical education content (tutorials, workshops, courses, docs, or similar) for developer audiences • Clear, pragmatic communication, written and verbal, for technical and mixed audiences, with a storyteller's instinct: you teach through narrative, not a list of features • Ability to operate as a senior individual contributor: take ownership of projects, drive them forward with minimal direction, and iterate quickly based on feedback • A product and ownership instinct: you think about the whole learner experience and the platform, not just the asset in front of you • Comfort balancing execution with program-level thinking, including cross-functional collaboration across Product, Engineering, Developer Success, Marketing, and Solutions Architecture • Willingness to travel occasionally for conferences, events, customer trainings, and team offsites • Experience with Temporal or another workflow orchestration system • Background in developer education, developer relations, or technical enablement • Open source contributions, especially in developer tooling, distributed systems, or adjacent ecosystems • Experience building LLM-powered applications or AI agents, and a feel for the reliability problems they hit at scale (state, failure, long-running orchestration). • Experience with a learning management system (LMS) or building an education platform • Experience working in a remote-first, globally distributed company
Responsibilities
• Help shape the education platform and the direction of the learning experience, not just the content that fills it • Design and build exercise-first courses, tutorials, and labs where a working, hands-on example is the core, with video, guides, and learning paths built around it • Produce video education content, including long-form walkthroughs and short-form "aha moment" clips • Build hands-on AI and agent content, including durable AI agent examples that show how Temporal underpins reliable AI systems • Design learning experiences that reflect modern developer workflows, including AI-assisted, hybrid, and interactive formats • Keep educational materials aligned with current product capabilities and recommended architectural patterns • Build and maintain reference implementations, labs, and best-practices examples for common developer and enterprise scenarios, in one or more Temporal SDK languages • Occasionally represent education in person: staffing a booth at a conference or event, and now and then standing up to teach a group directly, through a workshop, a training session, or a talk. • Partner with enterprise-facing teams (Solutions Architecture, Sales, Field Marketing, Developer Success) to turn their needs into reusable educational assets such as workshops, deep dives, and enablement material that scale beyond a single customer rather than one-off engagements • Help run trainer certification and developer certification programs by supporting competency definitions, assessment creation, and iteration based on feedback • Collect and share developer feedback from trainings, events, and community channels, and share actionable insights with Product and Engineering to improve education strategy and product direction
