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.
