About The Position

The Staff Developer Advocate at Temporal Technologies will be the voice and face of our developer community in the Platform Engineering space. This role involves producing high-quality technical content, engaging with developers, and gathering feedback for product development.

We need you to be able to speak the same language as other Platform Engineers - Infrastructure as code, CI and CD, progressive delivery, GitOps and more - and help them to both bring Temporal into their own platforms, as well as help them to enable their own internal development teams on using Temporal.

Experience: 5+ years of experience as a software engineer with a strong focus on distributed systems.
Mentorship Skills: Experience mentoring others in a formal capacity, volunteer or otherwise.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in one or more of our SDK languages, distributed systems, state management, and workflow execution.

Nice To Haves

Strong existing local network of developers and other developer relations professionals.
We will prioritize candidates with an existing track record of speaking and engaging in relevant developer communities.

Responsibilities

Build Apps: Architect and develop sample applications that developers can use and explore to understand Temporal’s place in the developer ecosystem.
Event Participation: Speak at and support developer events and conferences, especially with a Platform Engineering focus, with occasional travel.
Create Technical Content: Produce high-quality technical content such as blog posts, tutorials, guides, diagrams, workshops, and videos targeted at our core audiences.
Collaborate with Teams: Work closely with Developer Relations, Engineering and Marketing teams to ensure consistent, high-quality content and community engagement.
