SUMMARY

The Cloud Capacity team plays a critical role in ensuring the Temporal Cloud is scalable, efficient, and reliable for our customers’ most important workloads. As a Senior Engineer, you’ll lead high-impact initiatives to build systems that intelligently manage and forecast resource needs, directly influencing our infrastructure efficiency, customer experience, and platform cost strategy.

What you'll do

  • Drive the technical vision and roadmap for Temporal’s Cloud Capacity systems in partnership with engineering and product leadership.
  • Design and implement infrastructure to track resource utilization, forecast consumption, and support automated capacity planning at scale.
  • Lead development of a resource manager that optimizes infrastructure efficiency based on usage trends, cost insights, and evolving customer needs.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Cloud Infrastructure, and Finance to inform business-critical decisions around provisioning, pricing, and scaling.
  • Guide long-term strategy to support intelligent autoscaling, workload isolation, and predictable performance in a multi-tenant cloud environment.

What You'll Bring

  • Proven experience contributing to large-scale infrastructure efforts spanning cloud compute, storage, and networking systems.
  • Strong product and operational intuition around managing cloud costs, utilization tracking, and workload forecasting.
  • A track record of designing distributed systems and services in a production cloud environment (preferably AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Hands-on experience with container orchestration technologies (e.g., Kubernetes) and the surrounding ecosystem.
  • Exceptional collaboration and communication skills—you influence through clarity, and you bring others along for the journey.
  • Comfortable aligning cross-functional stakeholders on complex infrastructure problems, including executives and finance partners.
  • 7+ years of experience building production software using Go, Java, or similar languages.
