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. - Own service SLIs/SLOs and collaborate on incident response and post-incident reviews. - 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. - Background in performance engineering and capacity planning. - Open source contributions in systems, databases, or runtime tooling.
