We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer in Temporal's Cloud Global Services team to lead the technical strategy and execution of the Unified Temporal Proxy initiative. This individual will be responsible for consolidating disparate proxy implementations into a single, extensible, open-source, and productized solution. The unified proxy is not only a critical enabler for customers—providing security, encryption, and advanced integration capabilities—but also a core component of Temporal Cloud’s own infrastructure, powering hybrid-cloud scenarios and new functionality such as HTTP endpoint support and AI/agent workloads. The role spans architecture, cross-team collaboration, customer engagement, open-source leadership, and long-term product ownership, with a mandate to build and deliver a reliable, extensible foundation that will serve both customer-facing and internal needs for years to come.

  • Define and drive the architecture for a unified, pluggable proxy framework.
  • Establish technical standards for authentication, authorization, encryption, and observability across proxy implementations.
  • Evaluate and integrate existing customer-built, S2S, and Cloud Auth proxies into a single supported solution.
  • Translate high-level business and security requirements into technical designs.
  • Ensure proxy meets Tier 0 workload reliability, security, and performance standards.
  • Partner with Product, Security, and Customer Success to align roadmap with customer needs.
  • Work closely with Infra Foundations, Security, OSS Server, and CGS teams.
  • Engage directly with strategic customers to understand and incorporate their requirements.
  • Mentor other engineers on distributed systems architecture, networking, and security.
  • Drive the open-source development model, ensuring code quality, documentation, and extensibility.
  • Advocate for and implement patterns that simplify adoption by both internal and external developers.
  • Proven experience architecting and delivering high-availability, security-critical networking or proxy systems.
  • Deep understanding of authentication/authorization patterns (OIDC-OpenID Connect on top of OAuth), mTLS, JWT-JASON Web Token, custom identity integrations.
  • Expertise in data encryption at rest and in transit, including envelope encryption and key management.
  • Strong proficiency in Go or a comparable systems programming language.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems, RPC frameworks (gRPC), and cloud networking patterns.
  • Track record of leading complex, multi-team technical initiatives to successful delivery.
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, define vision, and create alignment.
  • Experience influencing technical direction across organizational boundaries.
  • Previous contributions to open-source networking or security projects.
  • Experience with hybrid cloud architectures and customer-facing APIs.
  • Knowledge of Temporal architecture and its SDK ecosystem.
  • Unlimited PTO, 12 Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays
