Requirements
• A technical foundation, kept current. A real background in Postgres / SQL, Linux, sysadmin, backend or platform engineering, DevOps, or database work. You may be a few years out of deep hands-on work, and that’s okay as long as you've done something deliberate to keep your edge (side project, homelab, pairing on cases, OSS) so you can still read a stack trace and a query plan without bluffing. • A technical foundation, kept current. • Supabase-adjacent fluency. Comfortable reasoning about auth flows, storage, serverless functions, realtime systems, or vector workloads. If you haven't used Supabase, that's fine. You should be the kind of person who'll have it running locally in a weekend. • Supabase-adjacent fluency. • Management experience. You've led a technical team before: support, SRE, platform, engineering, doesn't matter which. You know how to give feedback that lands, how to run a 1:1 that isn't a status update, and how to hire well. • Operational instincts. You're comfortable with metrics (FRT, MTR, CSAT) but you don't let them run the team. You know when a number is telling you the truth and when it's hiding the real story. • Operational instincts. • Writing. You can write clearly in English under pressure: to a customer, to an engineer, to a CEO. Most of what support produces is prose; we take it seriously. • Writing. • Customer instinct. You like users. You're curious about what they're trying to do, not just what they're stuck on. You believe good support works itself toward making itself smaller, by making users more capable. • Customer instinct. • Familiarity with JavaScript / TypeScript and one of the major frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte), plus some Node. • Experience supporting a developer-facing product, an open-source project, or a platform with a public GitHub presence (Issues, Discussions). • You've been on the other side of the table (written software, run infra, been the person paged at 3am) and that shapes how you partner with the engineers you'll work alongside. • Timezones & Logistics • Full-time, remote, based in an APAC timezone. • Monday to Friday. We have 24x7 weekend support engineering coverage, but only a support leads on-call rotation of which you will be a member. • You'll partner closely with the global Support leadership team and report into the Head of Support.
Responsibilities
• Represent APAC for the global team. Be the leadership presence on during APAC hours. You’ll lead as one of the larger team: shared standards, shared bar, shared playbooks. • Represent APAC for the global team. • Genchi genbutsu: go and see. This isn't a role where you stop reading tickets. You'll regularly sit with tickets yourself, partly to stay sharp, partly because you can't manage what you don't see. • Genchi genbutsu • : go and see. • Keep the team singular across timezones. Partner with your EMEA and AMER counterparts on coverage, escalations, and handoffs. The goal is that a customer can't tell which region picked up their ticket, because the team feels like one team. • Keep the team singular across timezones. • Turn signal into product. Work directly with Engineering and Product as a peer to surface patterns, file the right bugs, advocate for the right fixes, and make sure the loop from "user hit something weird" to "we shipped something better" is short. This is a collaboration, not a handoff. • Turn signal into product. • Raise the technical bar on the team. Support and provide support engineers a path to improve on Postgres, on our platform, and on how to actually debug a system rather than guess at it. Help build the playbooks, the runbooks, and the habits that scale. • Raise the technical bar on the team. • Care about the whole experience. A user's problem is rarely just the thing they typed in the ticket. It's the network, the schema, the expectation, the docs they couldn't find. We want managers who treat support as a dialogue with the whole system, not a lookup against a single symptom.
