About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Grow API compatibility with the Supabase client, keeping behavior faithful to hosted Supabase and backed by conformance tests
  • Bring more of the Supabase stack to SQLite
  • Build and harden the path for upgrading a project from Supabase Lite to full Supabase
  • Own the developer experience end to end: the CLI, local tooling, and docs
  • Build and harden the hosted offering on a scale-to-zero, near-zero-cost footing, kept loosely coupled so the implementation can be swapped without a rewrite
  • Work directly with design partners and turn real-world migration and integration friction into a sharper product
  • Engage with the open-source community and contribute back to the broader Supabase stack.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Have substantial backend or full-stack experience with strong fluency in TypeScript, and have built or contributed to a backend system, framework, or developer platform before
  • Are a strong generalist, comfortable moving across the stack from API design to storage internals to infrastructure, and picking up whatever the problem needs
  • Read unfamiliar code without friction.
  • Have a solid grounding in SQL and relational databases, and the curiosity to dig into where Postgres and SQLite differ
  • Have a bias toward compatibility and correctness, and reach for tests and specs to prove behavior
  • Think around corners.
  • Care about developer experience: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thing
  • Are comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage work and making sound calls that inform and define the spec.
  • Are comfortable working in public repositories on a remote, async team
  • Communicate clearly in writing
  • Bonus: experience with the Supabase stack, building developer CLIs, or a track record of open-source maintenance.
