Staff Product Manager, Core Primitives

Translate customer, field, and open-source community signals into platform bets, deciding when to improve an existing primitive, introduce a new abstraction…

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

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.

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.
