About the role

We are seeking a platform engineer to join our Compute team. This team owns the critical systems that power project provisioning, scaling, and the compute that our users rely on every day. 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.

You'll design, build, and operate systems that are both robust and highly automated — enabling us to provision new projects reliably at scale, optimize resource utilization, and deliver a seamless experience to the millions of databases which we manage.

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.

What you'll do

Help build and maintain the Supabase Cloud offering
Design and implement systems to provision, scale, and manage the multi-region compute workloads powering Supabase projects
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 our 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, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform

What they're looking for

Strong software engineering skills in Go and Typescript
Experience building and operating cloud infrastructure or distributed systems at scale
5+ years experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS required) particularly compute, networking, and storage services
3+ years experience working with building custom Kubernetes controllers and operating large-scale clusters
Knowledgeable about networking and multi-region infrastructure design
Familiarity with Postgres
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi, Terraform, or CDK)
Experience with being part of on-call rotations for large production systems

Nice to have

Experience with GCP and Azure
Pulumi experience
Experience working with QEMU, KVM, and NAS
