Job Details

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

We’re looking for an engineer to own the networking layer of our Postgres platform. You’ll focus on optimizing connection pooling (e.g., PgBouncer, Supavisor) and building advanced query routing systems for scale and multi-tenancy. This includes features like query prioritization, tenant isolation, and workload-aware routing. You’ll work closely with our core database and edge teams to ensure low-latency, reliable connections across our global infrastructure.

This role requires deep understanding of Postgres connection behavior, network protocols, and observability tooling. You’ll also prototype new patterns for query shaping and routing logic, potentially across read replicas or regional clusters.

  • Implement query shaping and prioritization strategies to ensure fair and efficient resource usage.

  • Collaborate with our core Postgres, observability, and edge infrastructure teams to reduce latency and increase system resilience.

  • Prototype and productionize new patterns for query classification, load shedding, and replica-aware routing.

  • Contribute to internal tooling for connection insights, query tracing, and failure diagnostics.

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.

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.
