About the role

Developers should have a clear path from writing their first workflow to safely evolving their hundredth in production.
Today, that path still requires too much setup, deep Temporal expertise, and manual validation.
In the first year, success means faster setup, more production-realistic local development, trusted testing and replay, earlier detection of unsafe code changes, and a more coherent CLI experience.

Own the product strategy and roadmap for Temporal's developer lifecycle and tooling charter
Translate customer, field, support, and open-source community signals into tooling bets that make Temporal easier to start with, test, debug, evolve, and deploy
Partner deeply with engineering and SDK teams to ship tooling across the CLI, local development environment, testing infrastructure, replay workflows, and deploy safety tools
Ship improvements with the templates, migration guidance, examples, and adoption support developers need to use them successfully

8+ years of product management experience, with significant time on developer tools, SDKs, CLIs, testing infrastructure, CI/CD, or developer platforms
Experience turning ambiguous developer workflow problems into clear strategy, roadmap, success measures, and shipped outcomes
High standards for developer experience across CLIs, SDKs, APIs, documentation, examples, onboarding paths, and production workflows
Ability to translate emerging developer workflows, including AI-assisted coding and agentic tools, into requirements for CLIs, testing, deploy safety, and documentation
Ability to balance open-source developer experience, Temporal Cloud adoption, and enterprise production needs
Strong product storytelling for technical audiences, with the ability to explain not just what changed, but how developers should use it and why it matters

Experience with distributed systems, workflow engines, durable execution, or event-driven platforms
Familiarity with adjacent developer platforms, orchestration tools, CI/CD systems, or modern developer automation
