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.

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.
