About the role
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 Senior Postgres Engineer to join our Postgres Team and help maintain and expand the stability and functionality of our hosted Postgres offering . You’ll work closely with customers, partners, product, engineering, support and success, helping us maintain a secure, stable, performant, and functional Postgres foundation.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.
This role also requires strong working overlap with Americas time zones due to production support and on-call responsibilities.
What you'll own:
Build and maintain PostgreSQL extensions in C and Rust, with a deep understanding of internals — parser, planner, WAL mechanics, and MVCC
Diagnose and resolve issues in managed PostgreSQL deployments, including custom extension failures, core dump analysis, and performance bottlenecks
Own idempotent deployment pipelines across thousands of running PostgreSQL instances, including testing and rollout strategies
Manage complex extension ecosystems — compatibility, upgrade paths, and conflict resolution
Work with PostgreSQL's background worker framework, shared memory management, and hook system to build reliable, scalable functionality
Collaborate closely with customers, partners, product, engineering, support, and success teams to maintain a secure, stable, and performant Postgres foundation
What you bring:
Deep expertise in PostgreSQL internals - query planner, executor, and storage engine mechanics
Proven experience building PostgreSQL extensions in both C and Rust
Strong knowledge of PostgreSQL's permission model : RLS, roles, and grant systems
Experience troubleshooting production issues in managed PostgreSQL environments, including custom extension issues, performance bottlenecks, and resource contention
Comfortable building, testing, and owning idempotent deployments across thousands of running Postgres instances
Ability to read and navigate PostgreSQL source code confidently
Experience with multi-tenant database architectures
Experience running PostgreSQL at scale
