• Use data to inform our tooling and content efforts, helping evaluate what’s working well and iterating as we learn.
• Collaborate with engineering, marketing, and sales to ensure consistent, high‑quality tooling, content, and messaging.
• Engage with the developer community through Slack, forums, social media, and international conferences, acting as a senior technical face and voice for Temporal.
