Senior Engineering Manager, Release Engineering

We’re seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead Temporal’s Release Engineering team—the group responsible for how we build, qualify, and ship Temporal software. This team’s mission is to deliver predictable, fully automated, and production-grade releases that embody our value of being Reliable as Gravity. You’ll guide a team of engineers focused on automating the entire release lifecycle using Temporal itself, driving toward a vision of hands-free, scheduled releases. This role combines technical leadership, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure every release is safe, efficient, and reliable at scale.

You will lead and empower a team of release engineers, setting clear goals and fostering a culture of accountability. You will oversee the design and implementation of automation using Temporal, driving consistency and championing release quality. Collaboration with Infrastructure, Cloud, and Product Engineering teams is key to improving release readiness. Ownership of technical and operational outcomes is expected, with continuous refinement of processes and tooling.
