Job description

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.
