Temporal Architect

Must-Have · Strong architecture experience in / workflow orchestration, including workflow design, activity design, task queues, workers, retries, timeouts, schedules, signals, queries, and versioning patterns. · Deep understanding of distributed system technologies, design principles, and best practices, including resilient microservices, event-driven architecture, failure handling, idempotency, consistency, and long-running transactions. · Hands-on ability to build prototypes and provide design, development, build, and deployment guidance using one or more Temporal-supported languages: Java, Golang, TypeScript, Python, C#, or PHP. · Experience guiding teams through application fitment, architecture evaluation, and implementation considerations for Temporal platform adoption. · Strong knowledge of production readiness: reliability, security, performance, cost management, operations, scaling, release management, and runbook/operational support models. · Cloud experience with at least one major provider and familiarity with commonly used application-development and production services. · Ability to position Temporal against alternative technologies and architectural patterns, and explain technical benefits and limitations clearly to customer engineering and architecture teams. · Experience with API/service integration, REST/gRPC, message/event platforms, CI/CD, containerization, Kubernetes, observability, monitoring, alerting, and logging practices. · Ability to conduct architecture workshops, whiteboarding sessions, code/design reviews, and technical risk assessments for enterprise migration or modernization programs. · Excellent technical communication skills, including presenting, whiteboarding, writing solution notes, and engaging engineering leaders and key technical decision-makers.



Good-to-Have · Experience in legacy BPMS / workflow platform modernization and migration programs, including BPMN/XPDL/XML-driven assessment or transformation approaches. · Exposure to Pega, Appian, IBM BPM/Savvion, Camunda, or similar workflow/BPM platforms and ability to map existing process patterns to Temporal-based implementations. · Experience supporting presales, proposal defense, demo/POC execution, estimation, solution shaping, and account planning with sales/account teams. · Client-facing consulting experience with onsite-offshore coordination, stakeholder management, and enterprise architecture governance. · Knowledge of domain-driven design, saga/compensation patterns, platform engineering, developer enablement, and reusable architecture assets/accelerators.
