Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platform Foundations

Temporal Technologies is building and operating the core infrastructure behind Temporal Cloud, focusing on reliability, scalability, and automation. The Senior Software Engineer will build resilient cloud platform systems, automate control plane operations, improve database performance, evolve deployment infrastructure, and develop safer CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities:

• High Availability & Disaster Recovery (HA/DR) — Enabling continuous regional failover and improving platform resilience
• Control Plane Automation — Automating operations to improve reliability and developer efficiency
• Database Performance and Optimization: Our data layer is scaling beyond its current limits. We need someone who can scale it by orders of magnitude while holding the line on latency, reliability, and availability
• Deployment Plane: As our deploy frequency and engineering headcount both climb, we own redesigning the path from commit to production, drawing on strong infrastructure, deployment tooling, and systems design expertise
• CI/CD for Control Plane — Building reliable pipelines for safer rollouts, faster iteration, and better test coverage

Requirements:

• • Backend engineering experience with a cloud/infrastructure focus, ideally with some ops exposure — a blend of infra and database-driven systems
• • Experience on a control plane team for cloud-based microservices
• • Background building or operating multi-tenant SaaS applications
• • Familiarity with density-oriented cloud provider architectures
• • Strong Postgres (or similar relational database) experience
• • Track record designing for high availability, and managing compute and traffic at scale
• • Solid database chops, and a bias toward building rather than just configuring — you'd rather write the tool than click through one
• • CLI and DevOps fluency
• • •Nice to Have - Exposure to data pipelining.•
