About this role
Temporal solves a specific and genuinely hard problem: making long running, failure prone workflows execute reliably, which is why banks care about it. This role is the technical lead for that conversation in Indian banking. You work with prospects to judge whether their applications fit the platform, educate them on the technical benefits and the limitations too (the posting says limitations explicitly, which is rarer than it should be), position Temporal against competing technologies and architectural patterns, and build the conditions inside customer engineering organisations for production adoption. The technical bar is real: deep understanding of distributed systems design principles, and the ability to build application prototypes and give design, development, build and deployment guidance in one of Temporal's supported languages, namely Java, Go, TypeScript, Python, C# or PHP. Temporal requires that you reside in Bangalore.
Who this is for
Temporal publishes no years of experience figure on this posting, so we have left the experience field blank rather than guess one from the Staff title. The stated requirements are capability based:
Reside within Bangalore, India. This is listed as the first requirement, not a preference. Exceptional technical communication skills including presenting, whiteboarding and writing. Deep understanding of distributed system technologies, design principles and best practices. Proficiency building application prototypes and providing design, development, build and deployment guidance using one or more of Temporal's supported languages: Java, Go, TypeScript, Python, C# or PHP. A firm grasp of operational considerations in production environments such as security, reliability, performance, cost management and operations. The ability to give insightful advice on architectural topics including application patterns and platform architectures. Experience with at least one major cloud provider.
What you will do: collaborate with prospects to determine whether their applications fit Temporal's platform well. Educate customers and prospects on the technical benefits and limitations of the platform and cloud service. Position Temporal as a leading solution against competing technologies and architectural patterns. Foster an environment within customer engineering organisations to increase adoption and expansion of Temporal in production. Partner closely with account executives to develop and execute account plans. Manage and nurture technical relationships.
Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, with residence in Bangalore required.
Honest fit guidance: the banking specialisation in the title matters. Financial services buyers ask about correctness, audit and failure semantics in ways other industries do not, so distributed systems depth is genuinely load bearing here rather than decorative. This is a strong fit for a senior backend or platform engineer who has run into workflow orchestration problems personally and can therefore speak about them with conviction. It is a weak fit for a generalist pre sales professional, because the prototype building requirement means you will be writing code in front of customers.
