[Remote] Senior Engineering Manager, Compute

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Temporal Technologies is an innovative company focused on simplifying code and enhancing developer experiences through their open-source programming model. They are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager for their Compute team to lead the development of a reliable compute layer for AI workloads, ensuring operational excellence and strategic direction.Responsibilities**Strategic direction for Compute:** Own the strategy and standards of excellence for the compute layer that the world's agents run on, across design, delivery, and operations. Build a culture of ownership, quality, and customer-first decision-making**Technical leadership:** Lead, hire, and grow a high-ownership team; roll up sleeves, ready to do deep into the trenches, by staying close to design docs and code, rather than managing from a distance. Coach engineers, level them up, and clear the friction that slows them down**Roadmap & trajectory:** Drive the arc from today's compute toward the next-generation of compute platforms. Ground prioritization in customer and design-partner feedback, and turn ambiguous, fast-moving requirements into predictable, iterative delivery**Operational excellence:** When you run frontier AI in production, reliability *is* the product. Own operations, run on-call and incident response, and drive blameless postmortems and the systemic fixes that prevent recurrence**Technical depth:** Guide the hard architectural decisions for large-scale, multi-tenant compute, where technical concerns cut across workload isolation and security, scheduling, fleet efficiency / utilization / goodput, and performance, while ensuring the platform is reliable and efficient for the workloads that depend on it**Capacity, supply & economics:** Own utilization, capacity and supply planning, and the cost-per-unit-of-compute and margin profile of the fleet, across CPU compute today and accelerated compute ahead**Cross-team & customer execution:** Partner with leadership, Product, SDK, UX/DX, Security, and design-partner customers to align priorities and unblock delivery. Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and risk clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alikeSkillsProven experience leading software engineering teams that build and operate large-scale compute platforms or fleets, with strong operational practices12+ years in software and/or infrastructure engineering, including 7+ years of people management and demonstrated ownership of delivery and live-site outcomesDeep distributed-systems and compute infrastructure depth, with the hands-on judgment to guide architecture and execution rather than from a distanceExperience operating multi-tenant compute that other people's production workloads depend onBachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree a plusExcellent communication skills, with the ability to partner across engineering, product, and leadership and fold customer feedback into the roadmapStrong leadership, coaching, and performance management; ability to grow engineers and build a healthy, accountable, high-ownership teamExcellence in execution: planning, prioritization, and delivering iterative milestones in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment while managing unplanned workFleet thinking: utilization, goodput, capacity and supply planning, and cost discipline as first-class engineering concernsLive-site reliability craft: on-call, incident management & response, and postmortem-driven continuous improvementStrong command of the building blocks of a compute platform: multi-tenant isolation and security, scheduling, and resource managementAbility to review and raise the bar on technical artifacts (design docs, code reviews) across a distributed-systems codebaseMicroVMs and virtualization (Firecracker, gVisor, Edera) or managed-compute primitives (AWS Fargate, GCP Cloud Run, AWS Lambda), and/or Kubernetes internalsBuilding serverless or hosted-compute products from 0 to 1, including the rapid-delivery-vs-durable-platform tradeoffs that come with itMulti-cloud delivery across AWS and GCPCold-start, warm-pool, and scheduling/latency optimization for on-demand computeAgent sandboxes, secure execution of untrusted code, or other AI-agent infrastructureGPU / accelerated compute: fractional GPUs (MIG, MPS, time-slicing), GPU scheduling, training vs. inference fleets, and multi-tenant GPU isolationBenefitsThis role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity planUnlimited PTO, 12 Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays100% Premiums Coverage for Medical, Dental, and VisionAD&D, LT & ST Disability, and Life Insurance (Standard & Supplemental Available)Empower 401K PlanAdditional Perks for Learning & Development, Lifestyle Spending, In-Home Office Setup, Professional Memberships, WFH Meals, Internet Stipend and more!Paid Time Off (PTO) and Benefits outside the United States vary by country, and are issued in partnership with Remote.com.Temporal offers perks to all international employees for learning & career development, a lifestyle spending account, in-home office setup (in addition to company-issued hardware), professional memberships, work-from-home meals, and access to the Calm app for mental wellness.Occasional travel may be required for company events, team offsites, and other meaningful moments that bring us together.$3,600 / Year Work from Home Meals$1,800 / Year Professional Enrichment (Career Development & Professional Memberships)$1,200 / Year Lifestyle Spending Account$1,000 / Year In-Home Office Setup (In addition to Temporal issued equipment - laptop, monitor, keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and extension power cable at no cost to you)$74 / Month Reimbursement for InternetCalm App Subscription for Mental Health & WellnessCompany OverviewTemporal Technologies is an open-source platform that simplifies building and managing complex, long-running workflows and microservices.
