About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Help shape the education platform and the direction of the learning experience, not just the content that fills it
Design and build exercise-first courses, tutorials, and labs where a working, hands-on example is the core, with video, guides, and learning paths built around it
Produce video education content, including long-form walkthroughs and short-form 'aha moment' clips
Build hands-on AI and agent content, including durable AI agent examples that show how Temporal underpins reliable AI systems
Design learning experiences that reflect modern developer workflows, including AI-assisted, hybrid, and interactive formats
Keep educational materials aligned with current product capabilities and recommended architectural patterns
Build and maintain reference implementations, labs, and best-practices examples for common developer and enterprise scenarios, in one or more Temporal SDK languages
Occasionally represent education in person: staffing a booth at a conference or event, and now and then standing up to teach a group directly, through a workshop, a training session, or a talk.
Partner with enterprise-facing teams (Solutions Architecture, Sales, Field Marketing, Developer Success) to turn their needs into reusable educational assets such as workshops, deep dives, and enablement material that scale beyond a single customer rather than one-off engagements
Help run trainer certification and developer certification programs by supporting competency definitions, assessment creation, and iteration based on feedback
Collect and share developer feedback from trainings, events, and community channels, and share actionable insights with Product and Engineering to improve education strategy and product direction

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong software engineering background and the ability to build production-quality, real working examples in at least one of Temporal's primary SDK languages (Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, or .NET)
Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, including state management, fault tolerance, concurrency, and event-driven architectures
Demonstrated experience creating high-quality technical education content (tutorials, workshops, courses, docs, or similar) for developer audiences
Clear, pragmatic communication, written and verbal, for technical and mixed audiences, with a storyteller's instinct: you teach through narrative, not a list of features
Ability to operate as a senior individual contributor: take ownership of projects, drive them forward with minimal direction, and iterate quickly based on feedback
A product and ownership instinct: you think about the whole learner experience and the platform, not just the asset in front of you
Comfort balancing execution with program-level thinking, including cross-functional collaboration across Product, Engineering, Developer Success, Marketing, and Solutions Architecture
Willingness to travel occasionally for conferences, events, customer trainings, and team offsites
