Staff Software Engineer - Builder Platform

ROLE SUMMARY

Join our Builder Platform Team as a Staff Software Engineer. Our mission is to empower a company of builders by delivering a frictionless, standardized, and governed platform for agents, workflows, and core engineering tools. We operate Temporal as customer zero: we partner directly with teams across the company to run their real work on the platform, measure the productivity it unlocks, and feed what we learn back into Temporal’s products and open-source frameworks our customers can adopt.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the strategy, architecture, and operation of our Agent Platform for deploying, running, evaluating, governing, and improving agents and agentic workflows, setting direction and ensuring reliability and scalability.
• Architect the AI Infrastructure that agents depend on: LLM and MCP gateways with guardrails, fallback, usage and cost controls, and model rollout policies.
• Design, build, and operate agents and workflows that carry engineering work from issue to production and business work from trigger to outcome, scaling them across teams and use cases.
• Lead the development and evolution of our Developer Infrastructure (Source Control and CI) and the developer tools that improve builder flow and reduce friction across the company.
• Partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Sales, and G&A to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can accelerate work and improve outcomes.
• Define best practices for agents and agentic tooling, build the enablement materials and paved roads behind them, and proactively drive ado
