Responsibilities
- Detect bottlenecks in live production environments and describe them with enough detail that the responsible team can address them independently.
- Work closely with database teams such as Multigres and OrioleDB, as well as infrastructure teams, to deliver concrete performance enhancements.
- Develop, communicate, and refine performance methodologies and tools that convert live production data into actionable insights.
- Collaborate with the observability team to capture relevant signals and create a unified view of platform performance, including latency, throughput, and tail behavior, across all products.
- Enable teams to conduct their own performance analysis and embed performance as a core engineering priority.
Benefits
- Fully remote work arrangement.
- Access to WeWork membership or a co-working space allowance.
- Equity ownership through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
- Technology allowance to customize your ideal workspace.
- Health insurance: full coverage for employees and 80% for dependents.
- Annual company off-sites in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun.

Problems you might work on
- Tune the kernel's paging behavior to match production workloads.
- Reduce memory overhead in OrioleDB and Multigres.
- Identify and eliminate sources of latency spikes from the application level down to the kernel.
- Identify scalability bottlenecks across the entire stack and collaborate with relevant teams at Supabase and the broader community to resolve them.
