Full Job Description

Summary   We're looking for a senior software engineer to join a high-impact team building the systems that power Temporal Cloud's customer experience at scale. Our team owns some of the most critical surface area in the product — Namespaces https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/namespaces, Audit Logs https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/audit-logs, and Export https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/export. Namespaces are the core unit of isolation within Temporal Cloud, providing security boundaries, workflow management, unique identifiers, and dedicated gRPC endpoints. Audit Logs and Export give customers reliable access to the operational and compliance data they depend on.   In this role, you'll set technical direction and build systems that directly shape how customers provision, operate, and extract value from Temporal Cloud. You'll partner closely with engineers, product managers, and solutions architects to design resilient architectures, drive cross-functional execution, and raise the bar on reliability and scalability for our most critical features. If you thrive on ambiguous, high-leverage problems and take pride in building durable systems that grow with the business, we'd love to meet you.   What You’ll Do - Lead the Design of Business-Critical Systems: Own end-to-end technical design and delivery for the services that power namespace scalability, reliability, and the customer data products built on top of them. - Bridge Instrumentation and Product Value: Partner with analytics and product engineers to ensure what gets collected actually powers meaningful customer insights; translate business questions into durable event schemas that outlast the feature that introduced them. - Architect Data Pipelines for Scale and Correctness: Define and evolve our data pipeline architecture for high-throughput usage and operational data; make principled tradeoffs across data freshness, query cost, tenant isolation, and fault-tolerance. - Drive Data Quality as a First-Class Concern: Establi
