Postgres Engineer 
Supabase · Remote, AMER

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 Senior Postgres Engineer to join our Postgres Team and help maintain and expand the stability and functionality of our hosted Postgres offering . You’ll work closely with customers, partners, product, engineering, support and success, helping us maintain a secure, stable, performant, and functional Postgres foundation.

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

This role also requires strong working overlap with Americas time zones due to production support and on-call responsibilities.

### **What you'll own:**

- Build and maintain PostgreSQL extensions in C and Rust, with a deep understanding of internals — parser, planner, WAL mechanics, and MVCC
- Diagnose and resolve issues in managed PostgreSQL deployments, including custom extension failures, core dump analysis, and performance bottlenecks
- Own idempotent deployment pipelines across thousands of running PostgreSQL instances, including testing and rollout strategies
- Manage complex extension ecosystems — compatibility, upgrade paths, and conflict resolution
- Work with PostgreSQL's background worker framework, shared memory management, and hook system to build reliable, scalable functionality
- Collaborate closely with customers, partners, product, engineering, support, and success teams to maintain a secure, stable, and performant Postgres foundation

### **What you bring:**

- Deep expertise in **PostgreSQL internals** - query planner, executor, and storage engine mechanics
- Proven experience building PostgreSQL extensions in both **C** and **Rust**
- Strong knowledge of **PostgreSQL's permission model**: RLS, roles, and grant systems
- Experience troubleshooting production issues in managed PostgreSQL environments, including custom extension issues, performance bottlenecks, and resource contention
- Comfortable building, testing, and owning idempotent deployments across thousands of running Postgres instances
- Ability to read and navigate PostgreSQL source code confidently
- Experience with multi-tenant database architectures
- Experience running PostgreSQL at scale

### **What We Offer**

- **Fully Remote**
 We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.
- **ESOP**
 Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.
- **Tech Allowance**
 Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
- **Health Benefits**
 Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.
- **Annual Off-Sites**
 Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.
- **Flexible Work**
 We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what n
