## About the role

We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager, Nexus to own the next phase of Temporal Nexus: landing the current product foundation, expanding adoption across strategic accounts, and defining the roadmap for Nexus as Temporal’s durable connectivity layer. You want to build important infrastructure. You’re motivated by products that sit in the critical path for customers and developers. You want to work on something foundational, technically deep, and category-defining.

## What they're looking for

- You want to build important infrastructure. You’re motivated by products that sit in the critical path for customers and developers. You want to work on something foundational, technically deep, and category-defining
- You operate with ownership. You don’t measure your job by meetings, specs, or process completed. You measure it by customer outcomes, product adoption, team clarity, and whether the right work actually ships
- You move fast without being reckless. Nexus sits in the reliability layer for mission-critical systems. You know when to push for speed, when to insist on rigor, and how to keep momentum without compromising customer trust
- You’re resilient in ambiguity. You’re energized by unclear ownership, messy customer evidence, technical constraints, and hard sequencing calls. You don’t need a perfect roadmap handed to you — you help create one
- You raise the bar for the people around you. You write clearly, invite feedback, give it directly, and help teams make better decisions. You make complex work easier for others to understand and execute
- You put developers and customers first. You want to understand how real teams build distributed systems, where their current tools fail them, and what would make Temporal indispensable in their architecture
