We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen.

Summary
Join our team as a Staff Product Manager for Agent Platform, where you'll define what it means to build and run AI agents on the most durable execution platform in the industry. In this role, you'll own the end-to-end product experience for developers building agents on Temporal.
This is a high-leverage, strategic role. Agents are Temporal's fastest-growing use case, and you'll shape how we serve this market. You'll take vague, ambitious questions - "how do we help teams at companies like Cursor, Lovable, and Stripe build more capable agents, faster?" - and turn them into concrete product bets, roadmap investments, and shipped experiences that developers love.
What You'll Do
Own the product experience for developers building and running AI agents on Temporal
Shape the strategy for internal agent platforms - companies standing up centralized teams to empower their orgs to build agents on Temporal
Drive the multi-agent orchestration roadmap: agent-calls-agent patterns, handoff protocols, agent teams
Establish success metrics and developer feedback loops for agent platform adoption and satisfaction
Sequence the roadmap and frame investments across multiple work streams
Partner closely with AI engineering
Work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Developer Relations to ensure developers succeed end-to-end
What You'll Bring
8+ years of product management experience
Deep AI and agent domain knowledge - you're building with frontier models daily and have an opinionated view of where the industry is headed
Developer empathy - deep understanding of how developers discover, adopt, and debug software
Platform product thinking - experience designing APIs, primitives, or developer platforms, not just end-user features
Experience shipping developer tools
Distributed systems literacy - able to reason fluently about state, execution, fault tolerance, and observability with engineering partners
Staff-level ownership - you take a vague strategic question and turn it into concrete product bets without heavy direction
Comfort shaping strategy in a fast-moving, ambiguous domain
Nice-to-Have
Experience with agent architectures - orchestration, tool use, memory, branching
Temporal or workflow engine experience
Open-source community experience
