Software Engineer - Turso

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 a Software Engineer to join our Turso core database team and help bring forward the future of agentic databases. Turso is both an Open Source database that replaces SQLite—with an ongoing project to also support the Postgres interface—and a Cloud offering where users can create databases on demand. You’ll work closely with customers and other teams at Supabase to build the future of what databases look like in a world where users and agents are creating millions of databases a day.

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

Key Responsibilities

• Driving the progress of the Turso Open Source database, in particular the Postgres compatibility layer.
• Making sure code works, never breaks, and putting the systems and guarantees in place for that to happen.
• Maintaining the Turso Cloud operations, including the Cloud API and data plane operations.
• Improving the scalability of the Turso Cloud operations to support a 100x larger number of databases.

Qualifications

• Experience building databases and/or other high-stakes low-level systems (such as hypervisors, OS kernels, storage devices).
• Experience working with remote teams and Open Source communities.
• Passion for correct systems and experience with tools like Deterministic Simulation Testing, formal verification methods, fuzzing, and differential testing.
• Experience deploying, operating, and debugging large-scale software systems in production cloud environments (AWS & Kubernetes).
• Experience improving the observability, reliability, and performance of complex cloud systems.
• Proficiency working with Rust.
• Familiarity with LLM-assisted development and evaluations.
• Experience working with embedded databases.
• Clear communication across both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Motivated by solving real-world developer problems and comfortable navigating ambiguity in a fast-paced setting.
