About the role

Role Summary

Customers use Temporal’s core primitives to build critical systems, but too much of the experience still depends on custom patterns, deep Temporal expertise, and careful operational work.

We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager, Core Primitives, to own strategy and roadmap for a focused Core Primitives charter. This role is not about shipping isolated features. It is about delivering the capabilities and developer experience that make it easier to model long-running work, coordinate across systems, handle failure, and operate production workloads with Temporal.

You’ll partner with the product portfolio lead to align your charter with broader platform priorities, and with engineering and SDK leads to turn strategy into coherent behavior across Temporal’s server, APIs, SDKs, and Cloud experience.

In the first year, success means Core Primitives has a clear strategy, prioritized roadmap, and shipped improvements that reduce the custom patterns, operational burden, and production risk developers face when building with Temporal.

What You’ll Do

Own the product strategy and roadmap for a focused Core Primitives charter

Translate customer, field, and open-source community signals into platform bets, deciding when to improve an existing primitive, introduce a new abstraction, change SDK/API behavior, build an integration, improve guidance, or create a more complete product experience

Partner deeply with engineering to ship core behavior improvements across server, SDKs, and APIs, making Temporal easier to model with, operate, and trust in production

Define developer experience goals and success metrics before major investments, then validate, measure, and iterate with technical users

Set clear product boundaries and success criteria so developers, internal teams, and adjacent product areas know how Core Primitives should be used and extended

Shape the external story for your area through positioning, launch narratives, documentation, examples, and close partnership with Developer Relations, Marketing, and field teams

Ship improvements with the documentation, examples, migration guidance, and launch support needed for adoption

What You'll Bring

8+ years of product management experience, with significant time on platform, infrastructure, developer tools, or other technical products

Experience turning ambiguous technical domains into clear strategy, roadmap, success measures, and shipped outcomes

Strong technical fluency in distributed systems, workflow or orchestration systems, event-driven architectures, APIs/SDKs, or comparable platform abstractions

Ability to reason about API semantics, failure modes, state management, reliability, scalability, and cost tradeoffs

High standards for developer experience across APIs, SDKs, documentation, examples, onboarding paths, and production workflows

Track record shipping technical products with engineering, then measuring adoption, learning from users, and iterating

Ability to translate emerging workload patterns, including AI agents and tool calling, into platform requirements for primitives, APIs, SDKs, and integrations

Ability to balance open-source developer experience, Cloud adoption, and enterprise production needs

Strong product storytelling for technical audiences, including strategy, launch narratives, tradeoffs, and developer-facing guidance
