We are building a Managed Temporal Platform to support our engineer’s needs.

On DigitalOcean’s Temporal Team, you will build and operate Temporal for general use by a diverse group of engineering teams.  You’ll serve as a subject matter expert to help teams use and adopt temporal as a preferred way of ensuring durable execution.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Consolidating many pre-existing temporal systems into a managed platform
• Building self-serve options so that engineers can spin up new temporals as needed
• Architect the temporal infrastructure and make decisions about multi-tenancy or independent clusters
• Working closely with engineering teams to help them adopt the durable execution framework and replace legacy components
• Defining and ensuring reliability guarantees of the system
• Automate as much of the operational work as possible to allow time for innovation

What We Expect From You:

• Experience with durable execution 
• A passion for automation and providing self-service options to engineers
• An appreciation of SRE principles, along with utilizing data and automation to improve systems
• Excellent communication skills. We work intimately with product teams to ensure our customers have the observability they need to be successful on our platform
• You’ve used and have deep knowledge of Temporal (Temporal.io)
• You’re familiar with the different datastores that Temporal can use and can articulate the pros and cons of each backend

Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean:

• We reward our employees. The base salary range for this position is based on relevant years of experience and skills. Employees may qualify for a bonus in addition to base salary; bonus amounts are determined based on company and individual performance. We also provide equity compensation to eligible employees including grants of equity upon hire and the option to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
• We value development. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that is always challenging our teams and employees to continuously grow. We maintain a growth mindset in everything we do and invest deeply in employee development through formalized mentorship and other internal programs. We provide all employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education.
• We care about your well-being. In addition to cash and equity compensation, we also offer employees a competitive array of benefits. In the United States, these include health insurance, flexible vacation, retirement benefits, a generous parental leave program, and additional resources to support employees' overall well-being. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits may vary in other countries due to local regulations and preferences.
• We value diversity and inclusivity. We are an equal-opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
