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’re looking for a CLI Engineer to join our Dev Workflow team and help build a world class local development experience. You’ll work closely with our customers, product teams, and OSS community, helping us deliver a consistent, secure, and performant CLI tool across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

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

What You’ll Be Responsible for

In this role, you’ll:

Design and develop CLI tools in Golang that are consistent, secure, and performant across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Collaborate with product teams to define CLI functionality and refine usability across the entire Supabase local development stack.
Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure high reliability and maintainability.
Create detailed documentation and help content for end-users and developers.
Manage releases, versioning, and backwards compatibility of Supabase CLI.
Monitor usage, gather feedback from customers, and work with the open source community to continuously improve on the CLI experience.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

Have Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
Have 5+ years of experience in software development with a focus on command-line tools.
Are proficient in one or more programming languages commonly used for CLI development (e.g., Go, Rust, Python, Node.js, C++).
Have deep understanding of cross-platform development concerns, including filesystem access, subprocess management, terminal handling, and platform-specific quirks.
Are familiar with package distribution and installation mechanisms (e.g., npm, yarn, Homebrew, APT, Snap, Scoop, Chocolatey).
Are passionate about building CLIs with a strong user experience (intuitive command structure, clear output, good error messaging).
Have experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
Have experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, k8s).
Are familiar with database migration management and Postgres line protocol.
