About the role

Maintain and expand a deep understanding of agentic coding
Design and build agentic coding systems that we can trust to deliver high-quality outputs
Design and implement Temporal AI SDK features supporting a broad variety of frameworks and libraries.
Develop a deep understanding of AI application development patterns and techniques, including emerging approaches and architectures.
Take end-to-end ownership of new features, working with other teams to deliver exceptional reliability and a great developer experience.
Serve as a domain expert on AI design patterns, collaborating with field staff to provide best-practices and canonical examples.
Go the extra mile to support a customer in need, on the rare occasion that our teams' engineering expertise is needed.

8+ years of professional work experience.
Experience and passion for harnessing generative AI, particularly for agents and coding.
A track record of open source software contributions, including contributions to 3rd party libraries.
Deep experience with concurrent programming-you should know how to use mutexes, atomics, and other concurrency primitives safely.
Experience designing APIs and writing documentation for publicly-available libraries or modules.

Familiarity with Temporal's programming model (e.g. you've written an app on Temporal).
Graduate degree in Computer Science.

Temporal provides a reliable foundation powering AI leaders such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, and others.
Its adoption is also expanding to users spanning across a broad range of AI applications.
These range from agents to data pipelines and everything in between.
Agentic development is a huge focus.
These are already unblocking a large backlog of projects among our customer base.
Getting these abstractions right involves both creativity and critical trade-off analysis.
Many challenges of this flavor remain to be solved.
Most of Temporal's work is open source-see for yourself here: https://github.com/temporalio

Fluency in multiple programming languages, and an affinity for learning new ones.
Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
