Software Engineer, Cloud Enablement

Temporal Technologies is seeking a Software Engineer to join its Cloud Enablement team. The role focuses on building and improving the Temporal Proxy, consolidating proxy implementations into a single extensible open-source solution, and contributing to production-quality code, observability, testing, documentation, and cross-functional delivery.

Responsibilities:

• Implement features in a proxy codebase, contributing production-quality code (primarily in Go or a comparable systems language)
• Build and improve core components such as request handling, configuration, authentication/authorization integrations, and encryption-related hooks (as defined by the team’s design)
• Add and maintain observability (logs, metrics, traces) and contribute to debugging issues in staging/production environments
• Write and maintain tests (unit/integration) to improve correctness, prevent regressions, and support safe iteration
• Collaborate with engineers across CGS, Security, Infra Foundations, and OSS Server to deliver scoped projects and land changes safely
• Contribute to developer experience through clear documentation, examples, and small improvements that make the proxy easier to adopt and operate

Requirements:

• Proficiency in Go (preferred) or another systems language, with the ability to ramp quickly into an existing codebase
• Working knowledge of service-to-service communication and distributed systems basics (e.g., HTTP/gRPC, reliability fundamentals)
• Familiarity with security fundamentals such as mTLS, JWT, and OIDC/OAuth concepts, and willingness to learn deeper patterns as needed
• Ability to take a scoped problem, implement a solution end-to-end (including testing and documentation), and communicate progress clearly
• A collaborative mindset and comfort working with teammates across functions to deliver shared outcomes
• Proficiency in Go
• Experience with proxy/gateway systems, cloud networking, service mesh concepts, or security-oriented infrastructure
• Experience with observability tooling and operational practices (on-call debugging, incident follow-ups, performance testing)
• Contributions to open source (code or documentation)
• Familiarity with Temporal concepts (or strong interest in learning the platform)
