  • Optimize routing performance to minimize latency and improve reliability across cloud regions.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to integrate networking solutions into the entire Supabase stack;

  • Improve our system architecture to reduce costs while balancing security, reliability, and performance;

  • Experience designing systems for high availability, failover, and real-time observability;

  • Strong software engineering skills (Go);

  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across distributed systems;

  • Knowledge of IPv6, BGP, Anycast, or advanced routing protocols;

  • Comfortable with cloud networking primitives (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar);

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi preferred, Terraform/CDK etc also acceptable);

  • Experience with being part of on-call rotations for large production systems.

We offer

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

  • ESOP (equity ownership in the company)
