Supabase is hiring a Platform Engineer: Compute & Scaling

About the Role

Supabase is hiring a Platform Engineer for the Compute & Scaling squad. You'll work on the core platform that ensures Supabase can seamlessly scale across multiple regions, handle high-volume workloads, and provide low-latency, highly available compute services for the 3.5M databases we manage.

What You'll Do

  • Help build and maintain the Supabase Cloud offering.
  • Design and implement systems to provision, scale, and manage multi-region compute workloads.
  • Own the full lifecycle of compute orchestration: project creation, warm pools, autoscaling, resizing, and resource optimization.
  • Improve automation and observability across the compute stack to ensure high availability and performance.
  • Improve system architecture to reduce costs while balancing security, reliability, and performance.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to help leverage compute as a core platform offering.
  • Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews.
  • Resolve escalated support issues and identify systemic issues across the platform.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience building and operating cloud infrastructure or distributed systems at scale.
  • 5+ years experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar), particularly compute, networking, and storage services.
  • Strong software engineering skills (Go and Typescript).
  • Strong understanding of container orchestration systems (Kubernetes, Nomad, or similar).
  • Knowledge of networking and multi-region infrastructure design.
  • Familiarity with Postgres or database systems.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi preferred, Terraform/CDK etc also acceptable).
  • Experience with being part of on-call rotations for large production systems.

Technical Stack

  • Languages: Go, Typescript
  • Orchestration: Kubernetes/Nomad
  • Cloud: AWS/GCP/Azure
  • IaC: Pulumi/Terraform/CDK
  • Database: Postgres

Team & Environment

You'll join the Compute & Scaling squad as part of a globally distributed team with more than 30 different nationalities. We're a startup with an unstructured, autonomous culture where we 'dogfood' our own tools.

Benefits & Compensation

  • 100% remote work from anywhere in the world. No location-based salary adjustment.
  • ESOP (equity ownership in the company).
  • Autonomous work. Set your own pace.
  • Health, Vision and Dental benefits. Supabase covers 100% of the cost for employees and 80% for dependents.
  • Tech Allowance for any office setup you need.
  • Annual Education Allowance.
