Temporal; United States; Remote; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Temporal is seeking a Staff Product Designer to shape how developers build, run, and scale AI agents across the platform, harness, and compute layers. You will design AI-native experiences that help developers operate AI in production with clarity and cost awareness.

You will collaborate with engineers, contribute to the Design System for agentic use cases, and translate complex infrastructure into intuitive interfaces that enable rapid iteration and deployment.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product design experience in complex, technical products.
• Solid understanding of compute, workers, scaling, and resource usage.
• Portfolio showing systems thinking in developer tools, dashboards, or data-heavy interfaces.
• Experience designing AI-powered products or agent experiences.
