Lead Infrastructure Engineer Temporal Platform
Position Overview
Build the infrastructure foundation for a Temporal platform designed to operate as an internal shared service. This role focuses on establishing hosting, connectivity, identity, automation, observability, reliability, security, and initial operating controls for a production distributed system.
The role is suited for a hands-on infrastructure/platform engineering leader who can work independently as a founding team member and make sound reliability, security, and design trade-offs across cloud, Kubernetes/OpenShift, enterprise networking, identity, and managed-service integrations.
What You'll Do / Key Responsibilities
-
Establish the hosting baseline, connectivity, identity, automation, observability, and initial operating controls for the Temporal platform.
-
Deploy and scale containerized application runtimes on OpenShift or Kubernetes.
-
Configure resource policies, autoscaling, networking, secrets, and GitOps promotion.
-
Configure enterprise SSO and integrate cloud services with identity providers, role mapping, service identities, and access controls.
-
Apply Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices using Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, or equivalent technologies.
-
Establish production observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
-
Operate a service across internal and vendor-owned boundaries and define clear operational responsibilities.
-
Support the platform as an internal shared service, including multi-tenancy, namespace isolation, and developer enablement.
-
Establish on-call practices and incident response for a new service.
-
Apply strong judgment around reliability, security, and irreversible design trade-offs.
-
Work with distributed systems and durable data, considering availability, consistency, backup and recovery, retention, and performance trade-offs.
Required Qualifications
-
5+ years of experience in platform engineering, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, with a track record of operating production distributed systems.
-
Deep, hands-on platform engineering experience across cloud, Kubernetes/OpenShift, or managed service environments.
-
Experience configuring enterprise SSO and integrating cloud services with identity providers, role mapping, service identities, and access controls.
-
Experience deploying and scaling containerized application runtimes on OpenShift or Kubernetes, including resource policies, autoscaling, networking, secrets, and GitOps promotion.
-
Strong understanding of distributed systems and durable data, including availability, consistency, backup and recovery, retention, and performance trade-offs.
-
Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code and GitOps, including Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, or equivalent.
-
Production observability experience with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
-
Experience operating a service across internal and vendor-owned boundaries and defining clear operational responsibilities.
-
Excellent judgment on reliability, security, and irreversible design trade-offs, with the ability to work independently as a founding team member.
-
Hands-on experience with Temporal or a comparable durable-execution/workflow engine such as Cadence, specifically administering or integrating the platform rather than only building workflows against it.
-
Experience running platforms as an internal shared service, including multi-tenant environments, namespace isolation, and developer enablement.
-
Proficiency in Go.
-
Familiarity with Temporal SDKs, including Java, Go, and TypeScript.
-
Cloud, enterprise networking, private connectivity, identity, and managed-service integration depth.
-
Experience establishing on-call practices and incident response for a new service.
