Team Frontend within Supabase owns tooling for the marketing/docs website and the core product called “Studio” Its used by millions of developers around the world building insanely cool applications. We live and die by user feedback and relentlessly address issues every day to make the product better!
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
- Ship products 0→1 and then earn the next version from users. You’ll take features from a blank editor to real users in production, then use what you learn (support threads, usage data, direct conversations) to decide what to build next. We want someone who has done this before: launched something, watched real people use it, and improved it on the strength of that feedback rather than a spec handed down from above.
- Own the quality pipeline, not just the feature. In a world where an agent writes a large share of the code, fast, the CI is what keeps that speed safe. You’ll build and tighten the layered checks that let us move quickly without breaking things: type safety at the boundaries, lint and format, unit and component tests, contract tests against our APIs, accessibility, visual regression, and bundle-size budgets, so a red check tells you (or the agent) exactly what to fix before anything reaches users.
- Make sure a bug caught once is caught forever. When something slips through, you don’t just patch it. You add the check that would have caught it, at the cheapest stage that can, so the same regression can’t happen twice.
- Work end-to-end and in the open. Frontend UI, the API contracts it depends on, preview deploys, observability. You’ll operate autonomously across the stack and do it publicly, in a codebase thousands of developers read and contribute to.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- A track record of taking a product from 0→1. You’ve launched something real, put it in front of users, and iterated based on how they actually used it, ideally something you can point us to.
- Deep frontend fundamentals with strong React. TypeScript and React, plus a real understanding of the modern landscape (SSR, streaming, server components, edge)
- A genuine quality-and-tooling mindset. You treat tests, types, and CI as tools that let you and AI agents move faster, not as a tax. You have opinions about where a check should run and what it’s worth, and experience wiring up pipelines with tools like Vitest, Playwright, MSW, or equivalents.
- Comfort working with AI coding agents: reviewing what they produce, tightening the architecture where they overreach, and giving them the guardrails to verify their own work.
- Autonomy and async communication. You manage your own time, communicate clearly in writing, and thrive without someone assigning you tickets.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Fully Remote
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.
- ESOP
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.
- Health Benefits
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.

Engineering
Overview
Application
About Supabase
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About the Role
We're hiring experienced performance engineers to find and land performance wins across the Supabase stack — from the query optimiser to block device level, and across the network paths and cloud infrastructure that connect our distributed platform. This is a performance delivery role: real, measured improvements to our database, platform, and APIs as we scale toward enterprise and platform-grade workloads. The methodologies you develop and tooling you build exist to multiply that delivery.
You'd join a new performance team as one of its first members, working alongside a deeply seasoned performance engineer, with the team growing to roughly six this year. There's no legacy process to inherit — you'll help define how performance engineering works at Supabase.
What you'll do
Find bottlenecks in live production systems and characterize them precisely enough that the owning team can act on them without you in the room.
Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) and infra teams to land concrete performance improvements.
Build, communicate, and evolve performance methodologies and tooling that turn live production data into actionable insight.
Partner with the observability team to capture the right signals and establish a unified view of platform performance (latency, throughput, tail behavior) across products.
Help teams self-serve performance analysis and make performance a first-class engineering concern.
Problems you might work on
Tune the kernel's paging behavior to production workloads
Reduce memory overhead in OrioleDB and Multigres
Identify and eliminate sources of latency spikes from application to kernel level
Identify scalability bottlenecks across the entire stack and work the appropriate teams in Supabase and the wider community to resolve them
What we're looking for
Deep experience in performance engineering, specifically performance analysis of complex distributed systems.
You can walk the whole stack: follow a tail-latency problem from the query optimizer through the syscall boundary to the IO scheduler — or across pooler hops, network paths, and availability zones — reading profiles and traces at every layer.
Depth on at least one end of that stack: Linux kernel internals (virtual memory, scheduling, networking, IO) or database internals (query planning, storage engines, buffer and WAL management)
Strong working knowledge of networking and cloud infrastructure performance: TCP behavior under load, network virtualization overhead, and the performance characteristics of AWS primitives (EBS throughput and IOPS, instance network limits, placement groups, cross-AZ latency).
Proven ability to turn performance insights into real product and architecture improvements — including getting teams you don't belong to to prioritize and ship the fix.
Strong written communication: your problem characterisations are precise, reproducible, and compelling on their own.
Pragmatic, tooling-oriented mindset; comfort working across product, infra, and database teams.
What We Offer
Fully Remote
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.

Overview
Application
About Supabase
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About this role
We’re hiring experienced performance engineers to make performance measurement at Supabase rigorous, repeatable, and actionable by product teams. This role owns the benchmarking and profiling systems we use to detect regressions, explain performance changes, and publish credible numbers for customers and the market. You’ll build the tooling and the methodology and make it easy for product teams to use it correctly.
You’d join a new performance team as one of its first members, working alongside a deeply seasoned performance engineer, with the team growing to roughly six this year. There’s no legacy process to inherit — you’ll help define how we measure and communicate performance metrics at Supabase.
What you’ll do
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.
What we’re looking for
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.

About Supabase
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About the Role
We're looking for a Release Engineer (SRE) to join our Release Engineering team (part of EngOps) — a production-operations expert who brings an SRE mindset to how Supabase ships and runs, making deploys safe, observable, and recoverable at scale.
Release Engineering's scope has grown well beyond build-and-ship: we increasingly own the operational reliability of the systems that deploy and run Supabase. In this role you'll treat our deployment pipelines, pre-production signal, and the control plane itself as production systems — with SLOs, error budgets, and on-call ownership — and you'll be the person teams lean on when reliability is on the line.
This is not a "gatekeeper" role. You'll make the reliable path the easy path: standardising how we deploy, instrumenting what we ship, and ensuring that when something breaks, we detect it quickly and recover quickly.
What You'll Be Responsible For
In this role, you'll:
Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets
Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal — standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows
Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch (untangling undocumented secrets, unclear configuration ownership, and circular service dependencies)
Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do
Reduce mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover for deploy-related incidents — which account for a large share of our incident load
Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil
Improve deployment observability and auditability — a clear record of what shipped where, when, and by whom
Document operational procedures — break-glass paths, access models, and runbooks — so reliability knowledge isn't tribal
Reliability & Operations
Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics — with meaningful alerting over noise
Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade
Harden access and break-glass workflows (e.g. scoped self-service) so the right people can act in an incident without unsafe workarounds
Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering
Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them
Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and operational KPIs — and the observability tooling behind them (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, or similar)
Have led incident response with tooling like incident.io (or PagerDuty / Opsgenie), run blameless postmortems, and driven down MTTD/MTTR
Operate confidently on AWS (multiple accounts, IAM, VPC) in production
Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform) and Kubernetes
Script and automate to eliminate toil rather than absorb it
Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers
Thrive in async, globally distributed teams
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating toward better systems over time

About Supabase
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About the Role
We're looking for engineers to join the team building Supabase Lite, a lightweight, TypeScript-native implementation of Supabase. It runs interchangeably on SQLite and Postgres and ships a PostgREST and Auth compatible API, so applications written against @supabase/supabase-js work as-is. It exists because AI builders and platform partners need a database they can give to every prototype without the cost or the wait: sub-second provisioning, a footprint small enough to run inside a sandbox, and an upgrade path to full Supabase when an app graduates to production.
This is a role with a lot of agency. Small team, working product, patterns still to be set - you'll own large areas end to end and make real decisions from day one.
What You'll Be Responsible For
In this role, you'll:
Grow API compatibility with the Supabase client, keeping behavior faithful to hosted Supabase and backed by conformance tests
Bring more of the Supabase stack to SQLite
Build and harden the path for upgrading a project from Supabase Lite to full Supabase
Own the developer experience end to end: the CLI, local tooling, and docs
Build and harden the hosted offering on a scale-to-zero, near-zero-cost footing, kept loosely coupled so the implementation can be swapped without a rewrite
Work directly with design partners and turn real-world migration and integration friction into a sharper product
Engage with the open-source community and contribute back to the broader Supabase stack.
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have substantial backend or full-stack experience with strong fluency in TypeScript, and have built or contributed to a backend system, framework, or developer platform before
Are a strong generalist, comfortable moving across the stack from API design to storage internals to infrastructure, and picking up whatever the problem needs
Read unfamiliar code without friction. A lot of the work means studying reference implementations in other languages, such as GoTrue in Go and PostgREST in Haskell, and matching their behavior in TypeScript
Have a solid grounding in SQL and relational databases, and the curiosity to dig into where Postgres and SQLite differ
Have a bias toward compatibility and correctness, and reach for tests and specs to prove behavior
Think around corners. When everyone reaches for the standard playbook, you look for the simpler path that fits a smaller box — breaking a complex system down to the 20% that covers 80% of the need, then making it run somewhere far smaller than it was designed for
Care about developer experience: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thing
Are comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage work and making sound calls that inform and define the spec. This is a founding role on a brand-new team
Are comfortable working in public repositories on a remote, async team
Communicate clearly in writing
Bonus: experience with the Supabase stack, building developer CLIs, or a track record of open-source maintenance.
What We Offer

ESOP
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.
Health Benefits
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.

ABOUT SUPABASE
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for engineers to join the team building Supabase Lite https://www.npmjs.com/package/@supabase/lite, a lightweight, TypeScript-native implementation of Supabase. It runs interchangeably on SQLite and Postgres and ships a PostgREST and Auth compatible API, so applications written against @supabase/supabase-js work as-is. It exists because AI builders and platform partners need a database they can give to every prototype without the cost or the wait: sub-second provisioning, a footprint small enough to run inside a sandbox, and an upgrade path to full Supabase when an app graduates to production.
This is a role with a lot of agency. Small team, working product, patterns still to be set - you'll own large areas end to end and make real decisions from day one.

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution, including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About the team:
Management API, written in TypeScript, Nest.js and for other JavaScript technologies, is a central part of every product in the Supabase stack. It allows all Supabase services and Supabase Studio to communicate with each other, programmatically manage your own Supabase projects and organisations, as well as integrate with 3rd party services like Vercel, Resend, or Lovable. We are seeking someone to help us maintain the existing API, expand OAuth applications capabilities, enhance reliability, and improve the overall public API experience.
You will:
Design, implement, and maintain both internal and public-facing APIs used across various Supabase products, including Studio, CLI, management APIs, and OAuth applications.
Integrate with third-party platforms and partners, either by developing custom integrations or providing clear API points for them to connect with Supabase.
Collaborate closely with various teams across Supabase (DevOps, Frontend, etc.) to ensure smooth integration and implementation of API functionality for the rest of the platform.
Build and enhance testing, debugging, and monitoring tools to ensure public APIs' stability, reliability, and performance.
Work with the dev-workflows team to enhance and improve the Branching experience, making it easier and more valuable for Supabase users.
You have:
5+ years of experience in backend API development, with strong expertise in TypeScript and JavaScript (Node.js) and familiarity with modern tools and frameworks (e.g., Nest.js, Express, Vitest, Zod).
Expertise in designing robust, scalable, and maintainable APIs, and experience with API versioning, pagination, and error handling best practices. Experience with OAuth, JWT, and API security best practices (rate limiting, CORS, etc.). is a plus.
Good understanding of PostgreSQL and relational databases.
Proven ability to build scalable, maintainable APIs and develop tools for testing, debugging, and monitoring API performance.
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and containerized deployments to streamline API development, testing, and release processes.
