4 Desired Experience Range 10+ years overall applicationplatform architecture experience 5+ years in distributed systems, workflow orchestration, cloud-native platforms, or Temporal-aligned architecture
Desired Competencies (Technical Behavioral Competency)
Must-Have Strong architecture experience in Temporal.io workflow orchestration, including workflow design, activity design, task queues, workers, retries, timeouts, schedules, signals, queries, and versioning patterns. Deep understanding of distributed system technologies, design principles, and best practices, including resilient microservices, event-driven architecture, failure handling, idempotency, consistency, and long-running transactions. Hands-on ability to build prototypes and provide design, development, build, and deployment guidance using one or more Temporal-supported languages: Java, Golang, TypeScript, Python, C#, or PHP. Experience guiding teams through application fitment, architecture evaluation, and implementation considerations for Temporal platform adoption. Strong knowledge of production readiness: reliability, security, performance, cost management, operations, scaling, release management, and runbookoperational support models. Cloud experience with at least one major provider and familiarity with commonly used application-development and production services. Ability to position Temporal against alternative technologies and architectural patterns, and explain technical benefits and limitations clearly to customer engineering and architecture teams. Experience with APIservice integration, RESTgRPC, messageevent platforms, CICD, containerization, Kubernetes, observability, monitoring, alerting, and logging practices. Ability to conduct architecture workshops, whiteboarding sessions, codedesign reviews, and technical risk assessments for enterprise migration or modernization programs. Excellent technical communication skills, including presenting, whiteboarding, writing solution notes, and engaging engineering leaders and key technical decision-makers.
Good-to-Have Experience in legacy BPMS workflow platform modernization and migration programs, including BPMNXPDLXML-driven assessment or transformation approaches. Exposure to Pega, Appian, IBM BPMSavvion, Camunda, or similar workflowBPM platforms and ability to map existing process patterns to Temporal-based implementations. Experience supporting presales, proposal defense, demoPOC execution, estimation, solution shaping, and account planning with salesaccount teams. Client-facing consulting experience with onsite-offshore coordination, stakeholder management, and enterprise architecture governance. Knowledge of domain-driven design, sagacompensation patterns, platform engineering, developer enablement, and reusable architecture assetsaccelerators.
Desired Competencies (Technical Behavioral Competency) Ability to collaborate with developers, business analysts, QA, DevOpsSRE, platform teams, enterprise architects, and customer leadership. Positive attitude, strong ownership, team orientation, and ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and ambiguous engagement models.
Background Engineering GraduatePost-Graduate in any discipline (Computer Science preferred) or MCA with strong background in software development, distributed systems, cloud architecture, and technical consulting.
Others Temporal certification training exposure, open-source contribution, cloud certification, or hands-on Temporal Cloud experience will be an added advantage.
Responsibility Expectations from the Role
1 Assess customer applicationsprocesses and determine fitment for Temporal platform adoption, modernization, or migration.
2 Own end-to-end Temporal architecture definition, including workflowactivity model, worker topology, task queues, integration patterns, resiliency, and operational guardrails.
3 Educate customer and internal engineering teams on the technical benefits, limitations, and implementation considerations of Temporal and Temporal Cloud.
4 Build prototypesPOCs and provide design, development, build, deployment, and code-review guidance using supported Temporal SDK languages.
5 Define production readiness approach covering reliability, observability, security, performance, scaling, cost, operations, incident handling, and releaseversioning practices.
6 Support proposal solutioning, estimation, technical risk analysis, migration planning, and defense workshops for legacy BPMS-to-Temporal opportunities.
7 Partner with accountsales, delivery, enterprise architecture, DevOpsSRE, QA, and platform teams to develop adoption roadmaps and execute implementation plans.
8 Create reusable reference architectures, accelerators, implementation standards, enablement material, and knowledge repositories for Temporal delivery teams.
9 Work with stakeholders to identify adoption blockers, resolve complex technical issues, and guide teams toward stable production usage.
10 Provide strong stakeholder communication through presentations, whiteboarding, architecture documents, status updates, and executive-ready solution summaries.
