Supalite Engineer

Have substantial backend or full-stack experience with strong fluency in TypeScript, and have built or contributed to a backend system, framework, or developer platform before

Are a strong generalist, comfortable moving across the stack from API design to storage internals to infrastructure, and picking up whatever the problem needs

Read unfamiliar code without friction. A lot of the work means studying reference implementations in other languages, such as GoTrue in Go and PostgREST in Haskell, and matching their behavior in TypeScript

Have a solid grounding in SQL and relational databases, and the curiosity to dig into where Postgres and SQLite differ

Have a bias toward compatibility and correctness, and reach for tests and specs to prove behavior

Think around corners. When everyone reaches for the standard playbook, you look for the simpler path that fits a smaller box — breaking a complex system down to the 20% that covers 80% of the need, then making it run somewhere far smaller than it was designed for

Care about developer experience: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thing

Are comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage work and making sound calls that inform and define the spec. This is a founding role on a brand-new team

Are comfortable working in public repositories on a remote, async team

Communicate clearly in writing

Bonus: experience with the Supabase stack, building developer CLIs, or a track record of open-source maintenance.

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)

540,000+ community members

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.

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

Apply – Our team will review your application.

Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.

Interviews – Up to four calls with: Team Leads Future teammates Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role) Someone from our leadership/founding team

Team Leads

Future teammates

Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)

Someone from our leadership/founding team

Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.

All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
