• Design, implement, and maintain language SDKs that serve as runtime environments for Temporal applications across multiple programming languages.
• Collaborate with server engineers and other SDK teams to deliver high-reliability features with exceptional developer experience.
• Ensure deep language integration by leveraging type systems and runtimes to support durable and deterministic workflows.
• Take ownership of open-source contributions, from design through public code reviews and technical documentation.
• Debug and resolve complex issues reported by users, providing expert support when needed.
• Work asynchronously with distributed teammates, traveling once or twice a year for team gatherings or optionally attending developer conferences.
• Write and publish public-facing documentation that educates and guides developers through using Temporal effectively.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building production-quality software, ideally in distributed systems or developer tooling.
• Proficient in at least two programming languages, with a strong desire and ability to learn new ones.
• Advanced knowledge of concurrency, synchronization primitives (e.g., mutexes, atomics), and their limitations in distributed environments.
• Proven experience designing robust public APIs and writing clear technical documentation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with a strong sense of accountability and ownership.
• Comfortable working in open-source environments, contributing code and engaging with a global developer community.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent work experience).

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with the Temporal programming model or having built apps using Temporal.
• Experience with Go, Java, Python, TypeScript, .NET, Ruby, or Rust.
• Contributions to open-source projects or experience building scalable distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of programming language internals or runtimes.
