# Postgres Engineer

**Supabase** — Remote, Anywhere

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase/c16bd707-29f2-46fb-8409-7270ff00978b

## About Supabase

Build production-grade applications with a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Realtime, Functions, Storage and Vector embeddings. Start for free.

## About the role

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 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 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. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.

- Tech AllowanceUse this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.

- Health BenefitsSupabase 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-SitesOnce 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 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. 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.
