About The Position

As Senior Product Manager – Worker Scalability & Compute, you will own how developers deploy, host, and scale Temporal workers. You'll shape the compute runtime story for Temporal, from self-managed Kubernetes deployments to fully serverless execution. This role directly impacts developer experience: how easy it is to get workflows running, version them safely, and scale them automatically.

Requirements

Strong background in compute platforms: serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run, App Engine), container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS), or similar infrastructure
Experience building developer-facing products where deployment simplicity and operational excellence are key differentiators
Familiarity with autoscaling systems, workload scheduling, and resource optimization at scale
Understanding of code versioning, deployment strategies, and the developer experience challenges of long-running stateful systems
Proven ability to translate complex infrastructure capabilities into intuitive developer experiences
A pragmatic, customer-focused product management approach with strong technical communication skills

Responsibilities

Own the roadmap for worker deployment options, including self-hosted, managed, and serverless execution models
Drive the strategy for workflow and activity hosting, reducing the operational burden of running Temporal workers
Lead workflow versioning initiatives to enable safe, zero-downtime code deployments with excellent developer experience
Evolve the Temporal Worker Controller and KEDA integration for intelligent autoscaling based on workload characteristics
Define the path toward serverless worker execution, removing infrastructure management from the developer experience entirely
Partner with engineering to improve worker tuning, resource efficiency, and scaling behavior across diverse compute environments
Collaborate with customers and community to understand worker deployment pain points and validate solution directions
