temporal - Senior Software Engineer - Builder Platform
Requirements
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping and operating production-quality internal platforms or developer tooling. • Experience leveraging modern agentic coding tools such as Codex and Claude Code. • Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used at Temporal, such as Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or Java. • Experience building workflow automation or internal tools (CLI tools, services, GitHub automation, cloud automation, or similar). • Strong judgment about when to standardize versus when to enable flexibility, and how to remove friction without compromising reliability. • Comfort working cross-functionally, including partnering with non-traditional developers and translating needs into usable solutions. • Ability to use data and qualitative feedback together to prioritize and measure impact. • Clear written communication, including documentation that enables self-service. • Experience building internal agents and operating an agent platform • Experience building and operating Temporal applications.
Responsibilities
• Develop and operate our Agent Platform for deploying, running, evaluating, governing, and improving agents and agentic workflows. • Establish and operate the AI Infrastructure that agents depend on: LLM and MCP gateways with guardrails, fallback, usage and cost controls, and model rollout policies. • Build and operate agents and workflows that carry engineering work from issue to production and business work from trigger to outcome, with humans governing the boundaries. • Own our Developer Infrastructure (Source Control and CI) and build the developer tools that improve builder flow and reduce friction across the company. • Partner with teams across Engineering, Product, Sales, and G&A to understand where AI could accelerate their work or improve the quality of outcomes. • Drive adoption of agents and agentic tooling across the company, and own the best practices and enablement materials that help builders succeed using the paved roads. • Build measurement and feedback loops (usage, reliability, and cost) to quantify the productivity the platform unlocks and guide the roadmap. • Treat Temporal as customer zero: turn what we learn into validated requirements for Temporal Cloud, the SDKs, and our Agent Harness, and contribute to an open-source reference architecture that customer platform teams can adopt. • Participate in on-call to support internal users.
