supabase - Performance Engineer - Benchmarking

Remote - Anywhere+ Equity2d ago

Remote WW Cloud Computing Mechanical Engineer Reporting

Requirements

• Deep experience in performance engineering, benchmarking, and profiling of complex distributed systems. Specifically, you have owned benchmarking systems where reproducibility and controlling variance mattered. • Strong systems intuition (databases, storage, networking, cloud infrastructure). • Comfortable working across product, infra, and database teams. • Pragmatic, tooling-oriented mindset with strong communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Build and evolve benchmarking, profiling, and load-testing tooling (cloud, database, and end-to-end). • Define benchmark suites and reference workloads that reflect real customer behavior (and evolve them as the products change). • Establish performance baselines and regression gates across products (variance tracking, environment control, and detection of changes). • Build mechanisms that turn benchmark results into action: triage workflows, owner routing, and clear, reproducible reports. • Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) to identify bottlenecks and land concrete performance improvements. • Enable the company to publish credible, repeatable performance numbers for customers and the market. • Help teams self-serve performance testing and make performance a first-class engineering concern. • PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT WORK ON • Build our continuous benchmarking infrastructure so product teams can spot performance regressions early. Ideally, teams can run benchmarks directly on PRs or locally while developing a feature. • Analyze and eliminate issues with load generators, workloads or benchmark environments to ensure that benchmarks are reliable indicators for actual product performance. • Build regression triage tooling that pinpoints what changed (diffing, profiles/traces, query-level attribution). • Help product teams so they can analyze the root cause of performance regressions in benchmark environments themselves.

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.
