[Hiring] Social Media Manager @Temporal Technologies

Role Description

Temporal has a lot worth talking about: a deeply technical product, an active developer community, ambitious work in AI and distributed systems, and people across the company producing useful ideas, demos, talks, launches, and stories. We are looking for a Social Media Manager to turn that work into a consistent, credible, and distinctive social presence. You will own Temporal’s brand channels and the operating system behind them, from editorial planning and contributor coordination through writing, publishing, community engagement, and performance analysis.

You will be part of Temporal’s creative studio and work as a close partner to our Creative Producer and Developer Relations team. The Creative Producer will lead the production of original formats such as video series and visual storytelling. Developer Relations will bring technical expertise, developer education, and direct community insight. You will connect that work:

• Identifying opportunities
• Building the calendar
• Keeping contributors and assets on track
• Packaging content for each platform
• Making sure strong ideas reach the right audience

This is not a role where you wait for finished content and schedule it. You will bring your own editorial judgment, understand what developers care about, and create the systems that help the studio and its partners publish reliably. You will also use AI and automation to increase the team’s capacity without compromising technical accuracy, brand voice, or human judgment.

What You’ll Do

• Own Temporal’s day-to-day social media presence across its primary brand channels, including channel priorities, audience strategy, publishing cadence, and growth goals.
• Build and maintain a forward-looking editorial calendar that brings together product launches, Developer Relations programs, creative productions, events, community stories, company moments, and timely industry conversations.
• Run the social production workflow from intake through publication.
• Write and publish platform-native posts in Temporal’s voice.
• Work closely with Developer Relations to identify useful technical stories.
• Partner with the Creative Producer on social-first videos, recurring series, carousels, launch campaigns, and other original formats.
• Develop launch and event plans that cover pre-launch buildup, day-of publishing, partner and employee amplification, community engagement, and post-launch follow-through.
• Participate in developer conversations with judgment and credibility.
• Build repeatable systems for repurposing talks, livestreams, demos, blog posts, documentation, podcasts, events, and community contributions.
• Use AI and automation to improve content intake, research, drafting, repurposing, technical and editorial quality assurance, scheduling, social listening, and reporting.
• Establish a practical measurement framework for social.
• Run regular performance reviews with the creative studio and its partners.
• Maintain strong publishing and account-governance practices.
• Make informed decisions about new channels and formats.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience owning social media for a developer-facing, infrastructure, open-source, enterprise software, or technically sophisticated brand.
• A portfolio of posts, campaigns, and social programs you personally helped create and operate.
• Excellent writing and editorial judgment.
• Technical fluency developed through software engineering, Developer Relations, technical marketing, developer content, or comparable hands-on work.
• Familiarity with software infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tools, cloud platforms, APIs, or adjacent technical areas.
• Experience managing a multi-channel editorial calendar and the production workflows behind it.
• The confidence and persistence to keep work moving across a collaborative organization.
• Strong knowledge of the norms, formats, and audience behavior of channels such as X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and developer communities.
• Experience using performance data to form hypotheses, run experiments, and change a content or channel strategy.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools in a professional content workflow.
• Independent judgment.

Nice to Have

• Professional software engineering experience or experience building technical projects independently.
• Experience creating automations or lightweight internal tools with APIs, agents, workflow platforms, scripts, or no-code systems.
• Familiarity with Temporal, durable execution, distributed systems, microservices, or reliable AI applications.
• Experience working closely with Developer Relations, engineering, product marketing, communications, or open-source community teams.
• Basic video editing, design, motion, or visual-production skills.
• Experience supporting developer events, product launches, livestreams, or real-time social coverage.
• Experience with social publishing, listening, analytics, and project-management platforms.
