Senior Developer Advocate, Developer Education

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Contribute to shaping the educational platform and guiding the learning experience, focusing not only on the content but also on its overall direction.

• Create and develop courses, tutorials, and labs that prioritize hands-on exercises, with practical examples at the heart of the learning experience, supported by videos, guides, and structured learning paths.

• Generate educational video content, which includes comprehensive walkthroughs as well as concise 'aha moment' clips.

• Develop interactive AI and agent-related content, featuring robust AI agent examples that illustrate how Temporal supports dependable AI systems.

• Craft learning experiences that align with contemporary developer workflows, incorporating AI-assisted, hybrid, and interactive formats.

• Ensure educational materials remain consistent with the latest product capabilities and recommended architectural patterns.

• Create and sustain reference implementations, labs, and best-practice examples for typical developer and enterprise scenarios in one or more of Temporal’s SDK languages.

• Occasionally represent the education department in person by staffing a booth at conferences or events, and from time to time, directly instructing groups through workshops, training sessions, or presentations.

• Collaborate with enterprise-facing teams (Solutions Architecture, Sales, Field Marketing, Developer Success) to transform their requirements into scalable educational assets like workshops, deep dives, and enablement materials that extend beyond single-customer engagements.

• Assist in managing trainer and developer certification programs by aiding in the definition of competencies, creation of assessments, and iterative improvements based on feedback.

• Gather and disseminate developer feedback collected from trainings, events, and community interactions, providing actionable insights to Product and Engineering to enhance the education strategy and product direction.

⛳️ Requirements

• A robust software engineering background with the capability to create production-quality, functional examples in at least one of Temporal's primary SDK languages (Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, or .NET).

• A solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals, including aspects such as state management, fault tolerance, concurrency, and event-driven architectures.

• Proven experience in producing high-quality technical education content (tutorials, workshops, courses, documentation, or similar) aimed at developer audiences.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present information clearly and pragmatically to both technical and mixed audiences, utilizing a storytelling approach to teach through narrative rather than just listing features.

• Capability to function effectively as a senior individual contributor: taking ownership of projects, advancing them with minimal supervision, and rapidly iterating based on feedback.

• A keen instinct for product ownership: considering the entire learner experience and the educational platform, rather than focusing solely on individual assets.

• Ability to balance execution with strategic program-level thinking, including collaboration across various functions such as Product, Engineering, Developer Success, Marketing, and Solutions Architecture.

• Willingness to travel occasionally for conferences, events, customer training, and team offsites.
