- Comfort working across organizational boundaries—collaborating with Cloud/Infrastructure, Reliability, Release Engineering, and product teams to land outcomes
- Strong written communication skills (design docs, testing strategy proposals, and documentation that scales adoption)
Nice to have
- Experience with chaos engineering, fault injection, workload replay/shadowing, performance testing, or multi-tenant test strategy
- Experience building internal platforms used broadly across an engineering org (paved roads, self-serve environments, shared frameworks)
- Familiarity with measuring engineering/system outcomes (e.g., signal quality, coverage gaps closed, incident-to-coverage time, adoption)
What you get
- Unlimited PTO, 12 Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays

Worth weighing
- No specific technologies or tools mentioned, which may require candidates to adapt quickly to Temporal's stack
