Start for free. ## About the role #### About Supabase 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 **Release Engineer (SRE)** to join our **Release Engineering** team (part of EngOps) — a production-operations expert who brings an SRE mindset to how Supabase ships and runs, making deploys safe, observable, and recoverable at scale. Release Engineering's scope has grown well beyond build-and-ship: we increasingly own the operational reliability of the systems that deploy and run Supabase. In this role you'll treat our deployment pipelines, pre-production signal, and the control plane itself as production systems — with SLOs, error budgets, and on-call ownership — and you'll be the person teams lean on when reliability is on the line. This is not a "gatekeeper" role. You'll make the reliable path the easy path: standardising how we deploy, instrumenting what we ship, and ensuring that when something breaks, we detect it quickly and recover quickly. #### What You'll Be Responsible For In this role, you'll: - Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets - Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal — standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows - Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch (untangling undocumented secrets, unclear configuration ownership, and circular service dependencies) - Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do - Reduce mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover for deploy-related incidents — which account for a large share of our incident load - Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil - Improve deployment observability and auditability — a clear record of what shipped where, when, and by whom - Document operational procedures — break-glass paths, access models, and runbooks — so reliability knowledge isn't tribal ##### Reliability & Operations - Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics — with meaningful alerting over noise - Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade - Harden access and break-glass workflows (e.g. scoped self-service) so the right people can act in an incident without unsafe workarounds - Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets #### You Might Be a Good Fit If You - Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering - Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them - Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and operational KPIs — and the observability tooling behind them (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, or similar) - Have led incident response with tooling like [incident.io](http://incident.io) (or PagerDuty / Opsgenie), run blameless postmortems, and driven down MTTD/MTTR - Operate confidently on AWS (multiple accounts, IAM, VPC) in production - Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform) and Kubernetes - Script and automate to eliminate toil rather than absorb it - Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers - Thrive in async, globally distributed teams - Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating toward better systems over time #### ##### 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. --- Source: Supabase's own career page, read by RemJobs.
