Senior Product Manager, Scalability & Compute

Summary

As the Senior Product Manager focused on worker scalability & compute, you will own how developers deploy, host, and scale Temporal workers. You'll shape the compute runtime story for Temporal, from self-managed Kubernetes deployments to fully serverless execution. This role directly impacts developer experience: how easy it is to get workflows running, version them safely, and scale them automatically.

What You'll Do

• Own the roadmap for worker deployment options, including self-hosted and serverless execution models

• Lead worker versioning initiatives to enable safe, zero-downtime code deployments with excellent developer experience

• Evolve the Temporal Worker Controller for Kubernetes to provide worker management capabilities to the Kubernetes ecosystem

• Define the path for serverless worker execution, removing infrastructure management from the developer experience entirely

• Partner with engineering to improve worker tuning, resource efficiency, and scaling behavior across diverse compute environments

• Collaborate with customers and community to understand worker deployment pain points and validate solution directions

What You Bring

• Strong background in compute platforms: serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run, App Engine), container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS), or similar infrastructure

• Experience with Version Control, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Deployment systems

• Experience building developer-facing products where deployment simplicity and operational excellence are key differentiators

• Familiarity with autoscaling systems, workload scheduling, and resource optimization at scale

• Understanding of code versioning, deployment strategies, and the developer experience challenges of long-running stateful systems

• Proven ability to translate complex infrastructure capabilities into intuitive developer experiences

• A pragmatic, customer-focused product management approach with strong technical communication skills

Compensation

• The estimated pay range for this role is $180,000 - $230,000, depending on qualifications and location.

• Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
