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.

What You’ll Be Responsible for

We need a senior PostgreSQL engineer who brings deep knowledge of PostgreSQL internals and hands-on experience building extensions in C and Rust. You should understand how PostgreSQL works under the hood - from the parser and planner to WAL mechanics and MVCC implementation. Strong troubleshooting skills for managed PostgreSQL deployments are crucial, including diagnosing issues with custom extensions, analyzing core dumps, and resolving performance problems. You should be comfortable building testing and owning idempotent deployment to many thousands of running postgres instances. You'll work with complex extension ecosystems and need to understand extension compatibility, upgrade paths, and potential conflicts. Experience with PostgreSQL's background worker framework, shared memory management, and hook system is important for this role.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

Have 5+ years of experience postgres security, encryption, RLS and permissions
Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences
Have experience in async or globally distributed teams
Are energized by solving real-world problems for developers
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly
