Senior Manager, Developer Advocacy (NAMER)

Developers have a lot on their plates right now. Most are shipping faster than they were a few years ago and learning AI tools on top of their regular work, while nearly every developer tool company is trying to get a bit of their time. On top of that, many developers have never heard that the problem Temporal solves can be solved at all.

Your role is to build and lead our Developer Advocacy team in North America, focused on how developers first learn about Temporal and inspire them to take their first steps. Part of that is figuring out which videos engineers actually finish watching, what gets someone to a meetup after a long day, and which open source communities and partners we should be working with.

You will manage a team of senior advocates and still do plenty of the work yourself, whether that’s giving a talk, writing code, or showing up at a meetup. You will have a real voice in which events, communities, and programs the team focuses on, and a direct line to Product and Engineering when developers tell you something isn’t working. Our preference is for a candidate based in the Bay Area, as it remains the central hub of industry activity, and we want our leader actively immersed in that ecosystem to bring back key insights.

If working remotely, frequent travel to the Bay Area will be expected.

Location: San Francisco Bay Area or US Remote with willingness to frequently travel to the Bay Area.
