Senior Software Engineer, Compute (Temporal Cloud)

The Senior Software Engineer, Compute (Temporal Cloud) is responsible for designing and building managed compute primitives that support durable execution in a multi-cloud environment. The role involves architecting scalable, secure, and observable compute services that operate at the core of task execution, enhancing the reliability and performance of the platform. This position contributes by developing autoscaling systems, integrating cloud features securely, and ensuring the operability and maintainability of these systems. The engineer will also provide technical leadership, mentorship, and cross-team collaboration to deliver cohesive platform improvements.

1. Responsibilities:

• Create managed compute primitives with clear abstractions and APIs for cloud integration.

• Design self-optimizing autoscaling systems to scale worker fleets safely.

• Define boundaries between open source servers and cloud compute capabilities.

• Architect, build, and operate performance-critical task execution services.

• Develop cloud integrations including IAM, secure credentials, networking, and quota management.

• Implement features ensuring operability such as SLOs, metrics, testing, and incident review.

• Manage end-to-end delivery including API design, rollout, compatibility, and maintenance.

• Produce design documentation, conduct reviews, and provide technical leadership.

• Collaborate across teams to implement coherent platform changes.

• Experience in building distributed systems or multi-tenant platform services including design, implementation, and operations.

• Strong knowledge of concurrency, performance, reliability, and failure modes.

• Proven track record of delivering platform primitives used by other engineers or customers.

• Ability to own outcomes including SLO adherence and incident management.

• Excellent written communication and decision-making skills.

• Go programming experience is beneficial but not required.

1. Pay Range and Compensation Package:

• The estimated pay range for this role is $176,000 - $237,600.
