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’re looking for an OrioleDB Deployment Engineer to join our OrioleDB Team and help elevate our OrioleDB offering. You’ll work closely with the OrioleDB team, playing an instrumental role in technical decision-making and refining internal methodologies.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Package software into our supabase/postgres repository using Nix (with flakes), and help transition packaging from traditional to Nix packaging over time.
• Manage OrioleDB release lifecycles, ensuring timely major, minor, and extension upgrades.
• Expand platform release systems to allow developers to increasingly self-service.
• Optimize CI/CD and tooling, specifically expanding GitHub Actions, team tooling, and testing/release approaches.
• Resolve production issues by proactively identifying and fixing problems in customer deployments.
• Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks.
• Co-own the integration of OrioleDB into the Supabase product.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and its ecosystem, including extensions and performance optimization.
• Are an infrastructure expert with proven experience in management, tooling, and optimization.
• Are proficient in the Nix package management system (including flakes) alongside Ansible, Packer, Docker, QEMU/KVM, AWS, and Kubernetes.
• Have experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets.
• Are comfortable with polyglot environments, including builds for C/C++, Go, JavaScript, and Rust-based projects.
• Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers.
• Have experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving.
• Are willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to Nix-based work.
• Have experience with integration of emerging features into widely used managed hosted product platforms.

What We Offer

• Fully Remote: Work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance anywhere in the world.
• ESOP: Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company.
• Tech Allowance: Hardware budget for your laptop, monitor, headphones, or home setup.
• Health Benefits: Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents.
• Annual Off-Sites: Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of collaboration and connection.
• Flexible Work: We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own schedule.
• Professional Development: Annual education allowance for courses, books, and conferences.

About the Team

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.
