Responsibilities
• Design and implement distributed services and APIs that power the Supabase Platform. • Lead projects that improve scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency across existing systems. • Build data-intensive workflows, background jobs, and event-driven pipelines. • Own service SLIs/SLOs and collaborate on incident response and post-incident reviews. • Improve system observability with metrics, logging, tracing, and profiling. • Contribute to our CI/CD and release processes to ship safely and quickly. • Partner with product teams to deliver features end-to-end, from design docs to production. • Write clear design documents, RFCs, and high-quality tests.
Benefits
• We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world. • Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together. • Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work. • Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us. • Annual Off-Sites • Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year. • We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when. • Professional Development • Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
