About The Position

Temporal is an open source programming model that can simplify code, make applications more reliable, and help developers focus on the important things like delivering features faster. We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen. Our values guide us —they are present in how we show up, make decisions, and work together to make an impact. We’re curious, driven, collaborative, genuine and humble. Temporal is growing and we are looking for those who share our values, challenge 'standard' thinking, and want to influence our future. If you have a passion for improving the developer experience, building world-class open-source software and communities, and want to be a part of our amazing team, we'd love to hear from you! Summary As a Senior Software Engineer, you will get the chance to design, build, and maintain significant portions of our backend functionality for highly scalable, multi-tenant Nexus services (Our durable execution framework for orchestrating work across team and application boundaries for improved modularity, security, debugging, and fault isolation). Examples of the key distributed systems components you’ll own include durable execution, async processing and expand our ability to invoke workflows through more industry standard protocols. Working in the highly collaborative Open Source Server org, we’ll look to build a new enterprise offering that involves both on-premise and dedicated cloud offerings. The Open Source Server org works on core Temporal. See Temporal git here. To see more details about projects the OSS team is working on and demo videos, click here - [new window opens]
