Job Description:

Join our team as a Senior Product Manager for Agentic Coding, where you'll lead the effort to make Temporal the best-supported technology for AI-assisted development. In this role, you'll define how LLM-based coding assistants understand and generate Temporal code, directly impacting developer onboarding, productivity, and time-to-production. You'll build benchmark suites to measure LLM performance on Temporal tasks, create context files and skills that improve AI coding accuracy, and work cross-functionally with Engineering, DevRel, and Documentation to ensure developers succeed whether they're learning Temporal through Claude Code, Cursor, or any other AI assistant.

Job Responsibility:

Define and track success metrics for AI-assisted Temporal development (benchmark scores, activation rates, time-to-production)
Build and iterate on a "SWE-Bench for Temporal" - a benchmark evaluating LLM performance on real Temporal development tasks
Create, test, and validate context files (agents.md, Cursor rules, Claude skills) that improve how coding assistants write Temporal code
Research and prioritize which LLM performance gaps to address based on user impact
Drive fast hypothesis-test-iterate cycles to continuously improve AI coding assistant performance
Partner with DevRel to ensure documentation, samples, and content are optimized for LLM consumption
Collaborate with AI Engineering on benchmark infrastructure and evaluation pipelines
Work with external AI assistant vendors to improve Temporal support
Instrument developer journeys to understand where LLM-assisted users struggle and close feedback loops

Requirements:

5+ years of product management experience
developer tools or developer experience strongly preferred
Deep personal experience using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) in real development work
Strong prompt engineering skills with opinions on how to evaluate and refine LLM workflows based on empirical experience
Ability to write and evaluate code
comfort with multiple programming languages
Analytical mindset with experience defining and tracking metrics
Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, DevRel, and documentation teams
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Self-directed with ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving space

Nice to have:

Experience with benchmark design and evaluation methodologies
Familiarity with Temporal or distributed systems concepts
Background in developer relations, technical writing, or developer education
Experience with open-source communities
Understanding of LLM architectures and how context affects model outputs
