[Hiring] Senior Account Executive, Growth @Temporal Technologies

Role Description

Temporal is shaping the future of application development by enabling organizations to build, scale, and run resilient applications. We are seeking a technically curious Sr. Account Executive with a growth mindset to join our GTM organization and accelerate expansion within a portfolio of high-potential customers. This role sits on our Sales Growth Scale team, located on the West Coast, focused on deepening and expanding existing customer relationships as they scale their use of Temporal across teams, use cases, and business units.

You will work with technically sophisticated organizations that are already seeing value from Temporal and help guide them from early adoption to broader, long-term commitments. As a Growth AE, you will navigate increasingly complex account structures, partner closely with Solutions Architects and Customer Success, and engage a range of personas from software engineers to engineering leadership and business decision-makers. This role is ideal for sellers who thrive in land-and-expand motions, enjoy technical problem-solving, and want to grow their skills operating in larger, more complex environments.

You’ll play a critical role in driving durable revenue growth while helping customers build resilient systems with Temporal. We value diverse perspectives and believe great sellers are built through curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
