About the role
You have run Temporal in production — not just written workflows on top of it. You've operated a self-hosted cluster yourself, configured and maintained the datastores it depends on, and reasoned about retries, idempotency, and partial failure under real load. You've been the person other teams escalate to when something breaks. You think in terms of guarantees, and you can say concretely what teams building on a shared platform should be able to assume, and how you'd prove the platform is holding up its end. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- 2+ years of hands-on, production experience operating self-hosted Temporal — running the cluster itself, not only writing workflows against one
- Experience operating a distributed system in production at scale — retries, idempotency, partial failure, and the datastores and storage configuration it depends on
- Operational depth in Temporal internals and cluster administration — how the cluster is configured, maintained, and tuned, and how its constraints shape workflow design
- Experience securing and troubleshooting service-to-service communication between clients, workers, and the cluster
- Experience leading a technical migration or infrastructure consolidation across multiple stakeholder teams
