<h3>Summary</h3>
<div class="p-rich_text_section">We have an opening to hire a <strong data-stringify-type="bold">Senior Software Engineer - SDK (Language Runtime).</strong> Our team makes the Temporal SDKs — our SDKs are the primary mechanism through which our customers use Temporal. This is harder than it sounds. SDKs are not thin clients; they act as runtime environments for application code, contain complex internal logic, and coordinate closely with Temporal Server to provide the durable-execution guarantees our customers require. Most of our work is open source—see for yourself here:<a class="c-link" href="https://github.com/temporalio" target="_blank" data-stringify-link="https://github.com/temporalio" data-sk="tooltip_parent"> https://github.com/temporalio</a></div>
