Software Engineer, AI Developer Experience

Summary

Summary Join our AI Developer Experience Team as a Software Engineer. Our mission is to empower a company of builders by delivering a frictionless, standardized ecosystem of core engineering tools. You’ll partner with teams across the company to help standardize workflows and contribute to a tight feedback loop with product leadership that shapes our product direction.

What You Will Do

• Build and maintain internal engineering tooling that improves builder flow and reduces friction across the company.

• Help support adoption of AI agentic coding tools through documentation, automation, and guidance.

• Contribute to the development and operation of internally facing agents.

• Help implement developer workflows, including guardrails and evaluation approaches that enable safe adoption of new tooling.

• Support the development and operation of our internal agent platform.

• Partner with teams across Engineering, Product, Sales, and G&A to understand where AI could accelerate their work or improve outcomes.

• Contribute to measurement and feedback loops (usage, reliability, cost, and cycle time) to help quantify impact and guide iteration.

• Help maintain documentation and enablement materials that support builders using the paved roads.

• Participate in on-call to support internal users.

What You’ll Bring

• Solid software engineering fundamentals, with some experience contributing to production-quality internal platforms or developer tooling.

• Familiarity with modern agentic coding tools such as Codex and Claude Code.

• Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used at Temporal, such as Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or Java.

• Experience building or contributing to workflow automation or internal tools (CLI tools, services, GitHub automation, cloud automation, or similar).

• Good judgment about when to standardize versus when to enable flexibility, with growing ability to balance friction reduction against reliability.

• Comfort working cross-functionally, including with non-traditional developers, and translating their needs into usable solutions.

• Ability to use data and qualitative feedback to help prioritize and measure impact.

• Clear written communication, including documentation that supports self-service.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to building internal agents or supporting an agent platform.

• Familiarity with developer productivity measurement frameworks such as SPACE and DORA metrics.

Compensation

• The estimated pay range for this role is $160,000 – $200,000.

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