SUMMARY Summary Join our AI Developer Experience Team as a Software Engineer. Our mission is to empower a company of builders by delivering a frictionless, standardized ecosystem of core engineering tools. You'll partner with teams across the company to help standardize workflows and contribute to a tight feedback loop with product leadership that shapes our product direction.  WHAT YOU WILL DO - Build and maintain internal engineering tooling that improves builder flow and reduces friction across the company. - Help support adoption of AI agentic coding tools through documentation, automation, and guidance. - Contribute to the development and operation of internally facing agents. - Help implement developer workflows, including guardrails and evaluation approaches that enable safe adoption of new tooling. - Support the 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 outcomes. - Contribute to measurement and feedback loops (usage, reliability, cost, and cycle time) to help quantify impact and guide iteration. - Help maintain documentation and enablement materials that support builders using the paved roads. - Participate in on-call to support internal users. WHAT YOU’LL BRING - Solid software engineering fundamentals, with some experience contributing to production-quality internal platforms or developer tooling. - Familiarity with 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 or contributing to workflow automation or internal tools (CLI tools, services, GitHub automation, cloud automation, or similar). - Good judgment about when to standardize versus when to enable flexibility, with growing ability to balance friction reduction against reliability. - Comfort working cross-functionally, including with non-traditional developers, and translating their needs into usable solutions. - Ability to use data and qualitative feedback to help prioritize and measure impact. - Clear written communication, including documentation that supports self-service. NICE TO HAVE - Exposure to building internal agents or supporting an agent platform. - Familiarity with developer productivity measurement frameworks such as SPACE and DORA metrics. COMPENSATION - The estimated pay range for this role is $160,000 - $200,000. - Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
