Postgres Tools Manager

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

We’re hiring a Postgres Tools Manager to lead our team building and maintaining Postgres tooling. That includes in-postgres tools like extensions and foreign data wrappers, along with low level out-of-band tools like our connection pooling and change data capture solutions.

You’ll lead a small team of talented engineers, get your hands dirty with code, and help shape the direction of key components.

You will:

• Manage rollout and development of pg_replicate — our upcoming CDC/data platform product

• Define and drive our connection pooling direction (e.g., PgBouncer, Supavisor, or another solution)

• Own the strategy for foreign data wrappers, including lightweight API integrations and deeper analytics work (e.g., Iceberg, S3, Delta)

• Oversee maintenance and direction of key extensions (e.g., pg_graphql, pg_jsonschema, index_advisor, etc)

• Support and grow a team of engineers building foundational Postgres tooling

You have:

• Deep Postgres experience (extensions, internals, performance)

• Experience leading technical teams — including goal setting, direction, and delivery

• Excellent communication and async collaboration skills

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.
