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 **Postgres Deployment Engineer** to join our **PostgreSQL team** and help elevate our PostgreSQL offerings. You’ll work closely with the PostgreSQL team, playing an instrumental role in technical decision-making and refining internal methodologies. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions. The focus of this role is owning the **stability and deployment** of our products. You will act as a bridge between product and infrastructure teams to improve the reliability of deployments and upgrades. You will have co-responsibility for builds and deployments via our public `supabase/postgres` GitHub repository, which bundles features into Docker images and AWS AMIs for cloud and local use. #### What You’ll Be Responsible For - Package software into our `supabase/postgres` repo using Nix (with flakes), and help us transition our packaging from traditional to Nix packaging more over time. - Manage PostgreSQL lifecycles, ensuring timely major, minor, and extension upgrades. - Expand platform release systems to allow developers to increasingly self-service. - Optimize CI/CD and tooling, specifically expanding GitHub Actions, team tooling, and testing/release approaches. - Resolve production issues by proactively identifying and fixing problems in customer deployments. - Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks. #### You Might Be a Good Fit If You - Have 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and its ecosystem, including extensions and performance optimization. - Are an Infrastructure Expert with proven experience in management, tooling, and optimization. - Are proficient in the Nix package management system (including flakes) alongside Ansible, Packer, Docker, QEMU/KVM, AWS, and Kubernetes. - Have experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets. - Are comfortable with polyglot environments, including builds for C/C++, Go, JavaScript, and Rust-based projects. - Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers. - Have experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving. - Are willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to our Nix-based work. ##### What We Offer - Fully RemoteWe 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. - ESOPEvery team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company.

It’s a highlight of our year. - Flexible WorkWe operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when. - Professional DevelopmentEvery team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth. ##### About the Team 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 membersWe move fast, build in public, and use what we ship.
