I haven't used `temporal_tables` but I have built similar temporal systems on Postgres in the past. (Judging by https://github.com/arkhipov/temporal_tables#usage at least.) The trouble with these sorts of approach

Super cool. We're primarily looking for senior folks at the moment, but it never hurts to start a conversation. We do contribute to open source projects commercially as well and sometimes we staff newer members of the team on these pro
