About the role
- Developers have a lot on their plates right now.
- Most are shipping faster than they were a few years ago and learning AI tools on top of their regular work, while nearly every developer tool company is trying to get a bit of their time.
- On top of that, many developers have never heard that the problem Temporal solves can be solved at all.
Responsibilities
- Manage, coach, and develop a team of Developer Advocates, setting explicit goals and expectations and giving honest feedback.
- Co-develop talks, review demos, pair on content, and help each advocate find their stage and voice.
- Set the strategy for how Temporal earns awareness and consideration among developers in North America. Favor other people's channels (community meetups, partner events, conferences, OSS projects) over our own.
- Build a plan for Temporal's in-person presence across North America that maintains a balance of our own events with partnerships, so we show up consistently in the communities that matter most to our growth.
- Develop and deliver use-case narratives, demos, and practical experiences that show the practical capabilities of durable execution.
- Build relationships with partner DevRel teams and community leaders, and co-create programs, content, and events that reach developers we couldn't reach alone.
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Sales to align messaging, campaigns, and technical narratives aligned with company priorities.
Requirements
- A gift for teaching: you are able to make complex distributed systems concepts click on stage, in a workshop, or one-on-one.
- You've been a working software engineer and owned production systems, including being on call when they broke.
- Senior-level developer advocacy experience, as a Principal or Senior Staff IC or as a manager, with real credibility in technical communities.
- People management experience, or principal-level leadership (mentoring advocates or engineers, leading programs across a team) and a clear desire to make management your path.
- You've made technical content people actually watch or read, whether that's a YouTube channel, a popular talk, or a blog developers share.
- You've built programs that needed buy-in from teams you didn't manage, and you know how to get it.
- Willingness to travel ~30-40% to support events, community, and team activities
- Bay Area presence is a strong plus.
Nice to have
- You've been active in open source, whether as a maintainer, regular contributor, or someone who helped run the community.
- You've worked on distributed systems or workflow orchestration.
- Experience with Temporal is a big plus.
- You've built workshops or training programs for developers, or run a large event calendar.
- You've worked with Product Marketing to shape how a technical product is positioned and talked about.
- Deep, active connections in the Bay Area developer community, and an intuitive understanding of the wider developer ecosystem and how its platforms and communities fit together.
- Temporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
- All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
Compensation
- $30k-$40k
Benefits
- Build the team's operating cadence (planning, event coverage, content pipelines, quality bar) so the work is focused rather than reactive.
