Requirements
• Strong TypeScript - this will be a TypeScript codebase and you should be genuinely comfortable at depth • Deep cross-platform experience: filesystem, subprocess management, terminal handling, Windows/Linux/macOS quirks • Solid understanding of CLI distribution and packaging (Homebrew, npm, APT, Scoop, Chocolatey, etc.) • Track record building CLIs with great developer UX - intuitive structure, clear output, good error messaging • Experience making and defending architectural decisions in a collaborative, async environment • A genuine interest in developing other engineers - you take satisfaction in making the people around you better, not just shipping your own work • Familiarity with agentic workflows and designing for agent use cases - the CLI needs to be seamless for agents, not just humans • High autonomy - you don't need a lot of direction to go deep and ship • Go experience: helpful for navigating and understanding prior versions of the CLI codebase • Familiarity with Effect - the functional TypeScript library the CLI repo is now built on • Contributions to popular CLI tools or open-source dev tooling (Docker CLI, kubectl, gh, Terraform, Vercel CLI, etc.) • Experience with containerization and local orchestration (Docker, k8s) • Familiarity with Postgres, database migrations, and the Supabase local stack • Experience with IaC or config-as-code workflows
Responsibilities
• Deep understanding of cross-platform concerns: filesystem behavior, subprocesses, terminal UX, and platform-specific quirks across macOS/Linux/Windows. • Experience designing intuitive CLIs with clear command structure, helpful output, and actionable error messaging. • Experience with testing strategy for CLIs (unit, integration, and end-to-end) and CI/CD pipelines. • Familiarity with release/versioning strategies and backwards compatibility in widely used developer tooling. • Working knowledge of containerized local workflows (for example Docker) and Postgres-oriented development workflows. • Ability to collaborate effectively in async, distributed teams and drive outcomes through clear written communication. • DECISION-MAKING AND COLLABORATION • This role operates in a shared consensus model for major technical decisions with peers and leadership. • You are expected to lead proposals and recommendations, align stakeholders, and move decisions to clear outcomes.
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. • Tech Allowance • 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. • Flexible Work • 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.
