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!

Requirements

Experience in developer advocacy, solutions engineering, developer education, or technical community work, ideally in enterprise SaaS or a developer-first company.
People-leadership experience or a clear readiness to step into it; you can coach senior individual contributors while still doing the work yourself.
Strong hands-on technical credibility: you can build, demo, and teach, and earn the respect of senior enterprise engineers.
An operational, execution-first mindset: you can run a repeatable program, manage intake and prioritization, and keep commitments against an SLA.
Comfort working cross-functionally with Sales, SAs, Dev Success, Product, and Marketing, and translating technical engagement into commercial impact.
A genuine passion for empowering developers and creating authentic, high-trust community experiences, not sales pitches.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with durable execution, workflow orchestration, or distributed systems (e.g., Temporal) is a strong plus.

Own NAMER's contribution to recurring programs like Enterprise Office Hours, coordinating with Developer Education, Marketing, and the webinar team.
