About the role

SUMMARY Temporal is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Open Source Server team.
We do not expect one person to cover all of these areas.

Design, implement, and ship features for the Temporal server.
Partner with engineers, product managers, cloud teams, and customer-facing teams to build scalable technical solutions.
Participate in design discussions and code reviews to help maintain a high-quality codebase.
Experience building high-scale or performance-sensitive backend services, such as request-serving systems, task queues, scheduling systems, streaming or replication pipelines, rate limiting, sharding, load balancing, workflow engines, or orchestration systems.
Experience designing and building backend APIs or platform services.
You take ownership of your work and collaborate well with teammates.

5+ years of experience building and operating production distributed systems.
You enjoy solving challenging distributed systems problems while keeping the developer experience in mind.
You enjoy balancing technical depth with practical engineering decisions.

Experience with open source software or communities is a plus.
Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP is a plus.
Experience with technologies such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, ClickHouse, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, or MySQL is a plus.
Experience with Kubernetes, CRDs, KEDA, or Argo is a plus.

The estimated pay range for this role is $176,000 - $237,600, depending on experience and location.

You like learning large codebases and making meaningful technical contributions over time.
Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.

Contribute to improving the developer experience for both open source users and enterprise customers.
You don't need prior Temporal experience, but you're excited to work on the core of a distributed system used by a large open source community and enterprise customers.
