Summary from the posting
Invent
Create new managed compute primitives that feel first-class in Temporal Cloud: crisp abstractions, clean APIs, and an extension story across compute providers.
Design self-optimizing autoscaling systems (signals, backstops, debouncing, guardrails) that scale worker fleets safely and predictably.
Define the Open Source Server ↔ Cloud boundary for compute capabilities, keeping the architecture cohesive and maintainable.
Own
Architect, build, and operate services on the hot path of task execution where performance and correctness are customer-visible.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Temporal's own career page.
