Temporal Technologies is an American cloud software company that provides an open-source "durable execution" platform for developers. Founded in 2019 by distributed systems experts Maxim Fateev and Samar Abbas, the company is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, and has achieved a valuation of over $5 billion. Its core technology acts as a safety net for complex backend code, ensuring that applications automatically save their progress and can recover instantly from server crashes, network drops, or cloud outages without losing data.
The company operates primarily within the developer tools and cloud infrastructure industries, earning revenue through its managed enterprise platform, Temporal Cloud. Instead of software engineers spending months writing manual fallback code for error handling and retries, Temporal automates this process for them. This specialized capability has made its tech stack critical for high-stakes operational workflows at major global tech companies, including Netflix, Snap, Box, and Stripe.
As a remote-first enterprise, Temporal employs a highly technical corporate workforce of roughly 450 to 550 professionals distributed across the United States and global tech hubs. The engineering teams are led by CEO Samar Abbas and CTO Maxim Fateev, both of whom previously built foundational cloud infrastructure at companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Uber. This deep engineering expertise allows the company to support thousands of development teams globally in building highly resilient digital systems.
