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.
We are looking for a Senior CLI Engineer to join our CLI Team and help build a world-class local development experience - while owning a significant share of the API and backend work that powers it.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. Technically, expect roughly 80% backend / API work and 20% CLI work: most of your time will be on TypeScript server-side development, primarily with NestJS (API modules, controllers, services, integrations), with a steady commitment to cross-platform CLI quality, releases, and developer experience.
You will work closely with customers, product teams, and the open source community to deliver systems that are consistent, secure, and performant - across Windows, Linux, and macOS for the CLI, and through well-designed APIs for everything else.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and wants depth in backend delivery without stepping away from CLI and DX as a core part of the job.
Monitor usage and feedback; work with customers and the open source community to improve both API/backend and CLI experiences.
Nice to have:
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.
Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.
Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
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.

Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.
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:
