Release Engineer

In this role, you'll:

Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets

Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal — standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows

Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch (untangling undocumented secrets, unclear configuration ownership, and circular service dependencies)

Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do

Reduce mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover for deploy-related incidents — which account for a large share of our incident load

Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil

Improve deployment observability and auditability — a clear record of what shipped where, when, and by whom

Document operational procedures — break-glass paths, access models, and runbooks — so reliability knowledge isn't tribal

Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics — with meaningful alerting over noise

Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade

Harden access and break-glass workflows (e.g. scoped self-service) so the right people can act in an incident without unsafe workarounds

Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets

Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering

Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them

Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and operational KPIs — and the observability tooling behind them (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, or similar)

Have led incident response with tooling like incident.io (or PagerDuty / Opsgenie), run blameless postmortems, and driven down MTTD/MTTR

Operate confidently on AWS (multiple accounts, IAM, VPC) in production

Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform) and Kubernetes

Script and automate to eliminate toil rather than absorb it

Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers

Thrive in async, globally distributed teams

Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating toward better systems over time

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

~400 team members

60+ countries

20+ languages spoken

Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)

We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
