Staff Software Engineer, Open Source Server

Remote

About the role

We are currently hiring Staff Software Engineers across multiple back-end systems teams. The work you will do as a Staff Engineer is key to developing features without complicating Temporal, as the increasing complexity of our systems creates additional challenges. You will design, build, and maintain significant portions of our backend functionality for highly scalable, multi-tenant services. Examples of the key distributed systems aspects you can impact include (but not limited to) latency, scale, reliability, multi-region failover, and availability. 

Working in a highly collaborative team, we’ll look to build a new enterprise offering that will involve both on-premise and dedicated cloud offerings.

  • Provide appropriate test coverage for unit, integration, and performance for your feature ownership area

  • Clearly document design choices and operational knowledge to successfully deploy and run service with those features

  • Provide appropriate service level logs and metrics to make features operational for cloud service setup

  • Provide appropriate alerts, dashboards, and runbooks for production

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

NICE TO HAVE

  • Familiarity with Go, other similar languages great too
