Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Own the product strategy and roadmap for Temporal's developer lifecycle, focusing on onboarding, local development, and deploy safety. Partner with engineering and SDK teams to ship coherent tooling across multiple supported programming languages.
Requires 8+ years of product management experience specifically within developer tools, SDKs, or platform engineering. Must possess strong technical fluency in software delivery workflows and the ability to translate complex developer problems into shipped outcomes.
Developers should have a clear path from writing their first workflow to safely evolving their hundredth in production. Today, that path still requires too much setup, deep Temporal expertise, and manual validation.
We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager, Developer Lifecycle & Tooling, to own the strategy and roadmap for a coherent developer lifecycle: getting started, local development, testing and replay, deploy safety, code evolution, and the CLI experience.
You’ll partner with the product portfolio lead on platform priorities and with engineering and SDK leads to turn strategy into tooling that works across Temporal’s supported SDKs and production workflows.
In the first year, success means faster setup, more production-realistic local development, trusted testing and replay, earlier detection of unsafe code changes, and a more coherent CLI experience.
Own the product strategy and roadmap for Temporal’s developer lifecycle and tooling charter
Define developer experience goals for onboarding, local development, testing, replay, code evolution, deploy safety, and CLI workflows, then measure progress against them
Translate customer, field, support, and open-source community signals into tooling bets that make Temporal easier to start with, test, debug, evolve, and deploy
Partner deeply with engineering and SDK teams to ship tooling across the CLI, local development environment, testing infrastructure, replay workflows, and deploy safety tools
Make opinionated product calls about where Temporal should provide built-in tooling, where we should integrate with existing developer workflows, and where documentation, templates, or examples are the right answer
Shape a coherent cross-SDK experience across Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, .NET, and other supported languages without blocking language-specific ergonomics
Define the external story for Temporal’s developer lifecycle through positioning, documentation, examples, launch narratives, and close partnership with Developer Relations, Marketing, and field teams
Ship improvements with the templates, migration guidance, examples, and adoption support developers need to use them successfully
8+ years of product management experience, with significant time on developer tools, SDKs, CLIs, testing infrastructure, CI/CD, or developer platforms
Experience turning ambiguous developer workflow problems into clear strategy, roadmap, success measures, and shipped outcomes
Strong technical fluency in software delivery workflows, testing, CI/CD, SDKs, CLIs, local development, or distributed systems
High standards for developer experience across CLIs, SDKs, APIs, documentation, examples, onboarding paths, and production workflows
Ability to translate emerging developer workflows, including AI-assisted coding and agentic tools, into requirements for CLIs, testing, deploy safety, and documentation
Ability to balance open-source developer experience, Temporal Cloud adoption, and enterprise production needs
Strong product storytelling for technical audiences, with the ability to explain not just what changed, but how developers should use it and why it matters
Hands-on experience building or contributing to a CLI, testing framework, CI/CD system, SDK, or developer tool
Experience with distributed systems, workflow engines, durable execution, or event-driven platforms
Experience building developer tools across multiple programming languages, SDKs, or runtime environments
Familiarity with adjacent developer platforms, orchestration tools, CI/CD systems, or modern developer automation
The estimated salary range for this role is $185,000 - $260,000, based on experience and location.
Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
