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 are seeking a Platform Software Engineer with deep experience in distributed systems to help design, build, and maintain core platform services. You will work primarily in TypeScript and Go to deliver reliable, scalable, and secure systems that power Supabase at massive scale.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
– 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.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
– Experienced in designing and operating distributed systems, with strong foundations in consistency, fault tolerance, partitioning, consensus, and back pressure.
– Proficient in TypeScript and/or Go, ideally with 5+ years building production services in one or both languages (other languages also considered).
– Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and container orchestration.
– Familiar with multi-tenant architectures, API design, and data modelling.
– Knowledgeable about networking fundamentals and security best practices.
– Experienced with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi preferred; Terraform/CDK also fine).
– Comfortable participating in on-call rotations for large-scale production systems.
NICE TO HAVE:
– Experience with Postgres internals, logical replication, or CDC pipelines.
– Experience with service meshes, workload identity, or zero-trust networking.
– Background in performance engineering and capacity planning.
– Open source contributions in systems, databases, or runtime tooling.
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.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.
– ~400 team members
– 60+ countries
– 20+ languages spoken
– Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)
– 540,000+ community members
We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.

Interview formats differ by company and team, so confirm the rounds with the recruiter. Most hiring loops for roles like this cover:
A recruiter call or an online test. Read the job description twice and be ready to explain how your experience matches it.
Often coding problems on arrays, strings, trees, graphs or dynamic programming, solved while you explain your thinking.
Often design and trade-off questions sized to the role: an API, a component, or a small system.
Answer with the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Prepare two or three real stories: a hard problem you solved, a disagreement you handled, and something you learned quickly.
