📋 Description

• We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager, SDK & Developer Primitives to help define and evolve the core building blocks of the Temporal developer experience. • In this role, you’ll partner closely with engineering to shape the core SDKs and programming model that enable developers to build fault-tolerant, distributed applications with confidence. • You’ll be a key player in making complex systems feel intuitive and powerful through thoughtful design of primitives, abstractions, and developer-facing APIs. • Own and evolve the core programming primitives that make up the Temporal SDKs—ensuring they are consistent, composable, and aligned with the expectations of modern developers. • Engage deeply with the developer community to understand how real teams use Temporal, where the abstractions help, and where they get in the way. • Define product strategy and roadmap for Temporal’s SDK and programming model in close collaboration with product, engineering, and key design partners. • Translate complex technical requirements into simple, usable, and scalable developer experiences. • Collaborate with teams across SDKs, server, and web UI to ensure a cohesive and forward-looking developer platform. • Represent the voice of the developer in all product decisions, ensuring the tools we build help users ship reliable systems with less cognitive overhead.

🎯 Requirements

• A strong technical foundation and the ability to dive deep with engineers—experience working with developer platforms, SDKs, APIs, or infrastructure products is required. • Hands-on experience writing code in one or more languages (e.g., Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, Rust, etc.). • Prior experience building or contributing to developer tools, programming models, or infrastructure abstractions. • A developer-first mindset and a passion for improving the ergonomics, usability, and clarity of complex systems. • Ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear product requirements and prioritize trade-offs to deliver impact quickly. • Strong understanding of Product Management fundamentals, including product lifecycle management, market research, roadmap development, prioritization, and translating customer needs into actionable product requirements • 5+ years of experience in Product Management, or a hybrid background that includes software engineering and product work. • Knowledge of distributed systems is a plus.
