Infrastructure Engineer - Delivery Enablement / Lead Infrastructure Engineer — Temporal Platform

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.
