[Hiring] Software Engineer II, Cloud Applications @Temporal Technologies

Role Description

We’re looking for a Software Engineer II to join the Cloud Applications team. This team builds and operates critical parts of the Temporal Cloud customer experience, including:

• Namespaces
• Audit Logs
• Export

Namespaces are the core unit of isolation within Temporal Cloud, providing security boundaries, workflow management, unique identifiers, and dedicated gRPC endpoints. Audit Logs and Export give customers reliable access to the operational and compliance data they depend on.

We're looking for an engineer who is excited to learn these systems and contribute to their scalability, reliability, and developer experience. This is a hands-on role where you'll collaborate with experienced engineers, product managers, and partner teams to design, build, and operate backend services and data pipelines while growing your distributed-systems expertise.

Qualifications

• Experience building and operating production backend systems in a cloud environment.
• Proficiency in Go or another applicable backend or systems language, with the ability to ramp up in an existing codebase.
• Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, concurrency basics, testing, and debugging.
• Working knowledge of distributed-systems concepts such as reliability, fault tolerance, consistency, scaling, and failure handling.
• Experience with databases, data pipelines, messaging systems, or object storage.
• The ability to take a scoped problem, break it into smaller tasks, implement a solution end to end, and incorporate feedback.
• An operational mindset, including familiarity with logging, metrics, tracing, deployment, and production troubleshooting.
• Comfort collaborating across teams and communicating progress, risks, and technical tradeoffs clearly.
• A commitment to correctness, maintainability, and leaving systems better than you found them.

Requirements

• 3+ years of work experience (Nice to Have)
• Experience with Go (Nice to Have)
• Experience with PostgreSQL, Redshift, Kinesis, Firehose (Nice to Have)
• Experience with S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, or other object-storage systems (Nice to Have)
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure (Nice to Have)
• Experience supporting on-call rotations, investigating incidents, or improving production observability (Nice to Have)
• Familiarity with Temporal concepts—or a strong interest in learning the platform (Nice to Have)
