SUMMARY
Join our AI Developer Experience Team as a Senior Software Engineer. Our mission is to empower a company of builders by delivering a frictionless, standardized ecosystem of core engineering tools. We partner directly with teams across the company to standardize workflows and create a tight feedback loop with product leadership to influence own own product direction.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Build and maintain internal engineering tooling that improves builder flow and reduces friction across the company.
- Provide guidance, best practices, and automation to support adoption of AI agentic coding tools.
- Develop and operate internally facing agents.
- Implement and improve developer workflows, including guardrails, evaluation approaches, and guidance that enables safe adoption of new tooling.
- Own development and operation of our internal agent platform.
- Partner with teams across Engineering, Product, Sales, and G&A to understand where AI could accelerate their work or improve the quality of outcomes.
- Build measurement and feedback loops (usage, reliability, cost, and cycle time) to quantify impact and guide iteration.
- Own documentation and enablement materials that help builders succeed using the paved roads.
- Participate in on-call to support internal users.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping and operating production-quality internal platforms or developer tooling.
- Experience leveraging modern agentic coding tools such as Codex and Claude Code.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used at Temporal, such as Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or Java.
- Experience building workflow automation or internal tools (CLI tools, services, GitHub automation, cloud automation, or similar).
- Strong judgment about when to standardize versus when to enable flexibility, and how to remove friction without compromising reliability.
- Comfort working cross-functionally, including partnering with non-traditional developers and translating needs into usable solutions.
- Ability to use data and qualitative feedback together to prioritize and measure impact.
- Clear written communication, including documentation that enables self-service.
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience building internal agents and operating an agent platform
- Familiarity with developer productivity measurement frameworks such as SPACE and DORA metrics.
