Responsibilities
- Work as a software engineer
- Maintain and expand a deep understanding of agentic coding
- Design and build agentic coding systems that we can trust to deliver high-quality outputs
- Develop a deep understanding of AI application development patterns and techniques, including emerging approaches and architectures
- Take end-to-end ownership of new features, working with other teams to deliver exceptional reliability and a great developer experience
- Work with multiple programming languages: Python and TypeScript, Java, Go
- Serve as a domain expert on AI design patterns, collaborating with field staff to provide best-practices and canonical examples
- Work directly with our developer community to debug issues that need expert attention and get feedback on Temporal features and APIs
