About the role
- You'll help ensure system-level testing gaps don't fall through organizational boundaries by driving cross-team alignment, clear ownership, and measurable improvements in pre-production confidence.
Responsibilities
- Lead and grow the Test Systems & Tooling team: Hire, coach, and develop engineers building shared testing capabilities used across Engineering.
- Make production-like testing practical: Improve the ability for engineers to create test environments that resemble production topology, configuration, scale, and behavior-so reproducing issues and validating changes is faster and more reliable.
- Enable production-representative workload testing: Build or evolve capabilities such as workload replay, realistic workload generation, multi-tenant testing, load testing, and stress testing to surface behaviors that only emerge at scale.
- Drive failure-mode validation: Establish repeatable ways to test Temporal through real failure conditions (e.g., dependency failures, latency injection, resource exhaustion, degraded-state recovery, and regional failure scenarios).
- Collaborate across org boundaries: Partner closely with Cloud/Infrastructure, Reliability, Release Engineering, and product teams to turn production learnings into stronger pre-production detection.
- Experience managing and developing a high-performing engineering team (including direct reports), with strong coaching, feedback, and performance management skills.
- Strong technical background building or operating reliable distributed systems (or adjacent platform infrastructure) and the judgment to prioritize the failure modes that matter most.
Requirements
- Track record delivering internal platforms/tooling adopted by many teams-balancing ergonomics, speed, and long-term maintainability.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces where success depends on aligning stakeholders, clarifying ownership, and driving execution across multiple teams.
Nice to have
- Experience with large-scale testing practices: chaos engineering, fault injection, workload replay/shadowing, performance testing, or multi-tenant test strategy.
- Experience partnering with Release Engineering or CI/CD platform teams to institutionalize validations in pipelines.
- All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
- We embrace and celebrate differences and diversity.
- Temporal is committed to providing access, equal opportunity, and reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities in employment, its services, programs, and activities.
- If you need to request a reasonable accommodation, please let your Recruiter know so we can assist.
Skills
- Temporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Compensation
- $268k-$352k
Benefits
- Ability to define and drive measurable outcomes (adoption, confidence signals, reduced escaped issues, faster incident-to-coverage time), not just ship tooling.
Company info
- ROLE SUMMARY Temporal's reliability is fundamental to why customers choose us-and as our customers run increasingly critical workloads on the platform, our ability to confidently test changes must scale with that responsibility.
