Job description

We are currently hiring Staff Software Engineers across multiple back-end systems teams. The work you will do as a Staff Engineer is key to developing features without complicating Temporal, as the increasing complexity of our systems creates additional challenges. You will design, build, and maintain significant portions of our backend functionality for highly scalable, multi-tenant services. Examples of the key distributed systems aspects you can impact include (but not limited to) latency, scale, reliability, multi-region failover, and availability. 

Working in a highly collaborative team, we’ll look to build a new enterprise offering that will involve both on-premise and dedicated cloud offerings.

  • Clearly document design choices and operational knowledge to successfully deploy and run service with those features

  • Provide appropriate service level logs and metrics to make features operational for cloud service setup

  • Provide appropriate alerts, dashboards, and runbooks for production

What You'll Bring

  • Rich experience as an "Arranger" and/or "Builder/Enhancer" in large-scale distributed systems design (reliability, scalability). see HERE for more info re: "Arranger" and/or "Builder/Enhancer"

  • Operational experience in large-scale distributed systems environments

  • Experience developing highly concurrent systems

  • Demonstrated experience writing concurrent code in production as Advanced or Expert levels. see HERE for more info re: Advanced or Expert levels

  • Knowledge and experience of reliability so you can further ensure the high reliability of the Temporal system

  • Experience with Elastic Search or Clickhouse

  • Ideas and actions to improve the velocity of the team
