Postgres SRE – Cloud-Native Orchestration

Supabase is an Open Source and fully remote company building developer tools for databases.

Join us to run Postgres like a modern cloud-native service. You’ll be responsible for orchestrating millions of Postgres instances across Kubernetes. This includes lifecycle management, automated provisioning, upgrades, scaling, and secure multi-tenancy.

We’re looking for someone who understands both the internals of Postgres and the operational challenges of running stateful workloads in Kubernetes. You’ll collaborate across infra and product teams to build a scalable platform that powers Supabase’s global Postgres fleet.

What You’ll Work On:

• Design and maintain Postgres orchestration systems in Kubernetes, including provisioning, upgrades, and scaling

• Automate the full lifecycle of Postgres instances, from cluster creation to teardown

• Implement secure, multi-tenant runtime environments with isolation and resource quotas

• Ensure durability and performance for stateful workloads in distributed environments

• Contribute to internal tools and operators that manage Postgres at scale

• Collaborate with database and product teams to deliver a cloud-native database experience

• Monitor, debug, and improve the reliability of Postgres operations across regions and environments

We offer:

• 100% remote work from anywhere in the world. No location-based adjustment to your salary.

• Autonomous work. We work collaboratively on projects, but you set your own pace.

• Health, Vision and Dental benefits. Supabase covers 100% of the cost for employees and 80% for dependants

• Generous Tech Allowance for any office setup you need

• Annual Education Allowance

• Annually run off-sites.

About the team

• We're a startup. It's unstructured.

• Collectively founded more than 30 startups.

• Globally distributed team with more than 30 different nationalities.

• We deeply believe in the efficacy of collaborative open source. We support existing communities and tools, rather than building "yet another xx".

• We "dogfood" everything. If you use it in your project, we use it in Supabase.

Process

• The entire process is fully remote and all communication will happen over email or via video chat.

• Once you've submitted your application, the team will review your submission and may reach out for a short screening interview over a video call.

• If you pass the screen you will be invited to up to four follow-up interviews.

• The calls:

  • usually take between 20-45 minutes each depending on the interviewer.

  • most of the time, are all 1:1.

  • will be with the founders, a member of either the growth or engineering team (depending on the role) and usually one other person from your immediate team or function.

• Once the interviews are over, the team will meet to discuss several roles and candidates and may:

  • ask one or two follow-up questions over email or a quick call.

  • go directly to making an offer.
