Senior Staff Product Marketing Engineer, Competitive Intelligence

Responsibilities

• Co-build Temporal's competitive intelligence program. Focus on benchmarking and thought leadership content and sales support.
• Install, configure, and use competing products and adjacent technologies. Understand their architecture, developer experience, operational model, strengths, limits, pricing, and packaging.
• Design and run fair, reproducible benchmarks and technical evaluations. Document the method, assumptions, environment, results, and limitations so others can trust the evidence.
• Turn competitive evidence into positioning and reusable material for the field, including technical battlecards, comparison guides, objection handling, demos, internal briefings, launch input, and public technical content where appropriate.
• Partner with the Solutions and GTM Director to triage recurring technical questions from Sales and Solutions Architecture. Determine whether the issue is a competitive claim, an architecture pattern, a product gap, or a one-off request, then define an answer the field can reuse.
• Respond quickly to major competitor launches, product claims, pricing changes, market shifts, and high-stakes opportunities. Join selected deals when direct technical work can clarify the decision, then turn the answer into guidance the field can reuse. This role is not assigned presales capacity.
• Build trusted relationships across Sales, Solutions Architecture, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering. Gather intelligence through deal reviews, CRM, field submissions, competitor releases, pricing changes, community activity, and market research.
• Provide deal support to key deals and turn those insights into thought leadership content.
• Publish a monthly update for Product Marketing, Product, Engineering, Sales, and Solutions Architecture.
• Lead a quarterly executive review covering what changed, where Temporal is strong or exposed, and what Product or GTM should do next. Track each recommendation until it is accepted, rejected, or assigned.
