Build invincible apps with Temporal. Backed by Index, Sequoia and a16z.
About the role
Developers have a lot on their plates right now. Most are shipping faster than they were a few years ago and learning AI tools on top of their regular work, while nearly every developer tool company is trying to get a bit of their time. On top of that, many developers have never heard that the problem Temporal solves can be solved at all. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You’ve been a working software engineer and owned production systems, including being on call when they broke
- Senior-level developer advocacy experience, as a Principal or Senior Staff IC or as a manager, with real credibility in technical communities
- People management experience, or principal-level leadership (mentoring advocates or engineers, leading programs across a team) and a clear desire to make management your path
- You’ve made technical content people actually watch or read, whether that’s a YouTube channel, a popular talk, or a blog developers share
- A gift for teaching: you are able to make complex distributed systems concepts click on stage, in a workshop, or one-on-one
- You’ve built programs that needed buy-in from teams you didn’t manage, and you know how to get it

Your role is to build and lead our Developer Advocacy team in North America, focused on how developers first learn about Temporal and inspire them to take their first steps. Part of that is figuring out which videos engineers actually finish watching, what gets someone to a meetup after a long day, and which open source communities and partners we should be working with.
You will manage a team of senior advocates and still do plenty of the work yourself, whether that’s giving a talk, writing code, or showing up at a meetup. You will have a real voice in which events, communities, and programs the team focuses on, and a direct line to Product and Engineering when developers tell you something isn’t working. Our preference is for a candidate based in the Bay Area, as it remains the central hub of industry activity, and we want our leader actively...
