We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.\n\nABOUT THE ROLE\n\nWe're looking for a Release Engineer (SRE) to join our Release Engineering team (part of EngOps) — a production-operations expert who brings an SRE mindset to how Supabase ships and runs, making deploys safe, observable, and recoverable at scale.\n\nRelease Engineering's scope has grown well beyond build-and-ship: we increasingly own the operational reliability of the systems that deploy and run Supabase. In this role you'll treat our deployment pipelines, pre-production signal, and the control plane itself as production systems — with SLOs, error budgets, and on-call ownership — and you'll be the person teams lean on when reliability is on the line.\n\nThis is not a \"gatekeeper\" role. You'll make the reliable path the easy path: standardising how we deploy, instrumenting what we ship, and ensuring that when something breaks, we detect it quickly and recover quickly.\n\nWHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR\n\nIn this role, you'll:\n\n- Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets\n\n- Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal — standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows\n\n- Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch (untangling undocumented secrets, unclear configuration ownership, and circular service dependencies)\n\n- Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do\n\n- Reduce mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover for deploy-related incidents — which account for a large share of our incident load\n\n- Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil\n\n- Improve deployment observability and auditability — a clear record of what shipped where, when, and by whom\n\n- Document operational procedures — break-glass paths, access models, and runbooks — so reliability knowledge isn't tribal\n\nRELIABILITY & OPERATIONS\n\n- Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics — with meaningful alerting over noise\n\n- Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade\n\n- Harden access and break-glass workflows (e.g. scoped self-service) so the right people can act in an incident without unsafe workarounds\n\n- Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets\n\nYOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU\n\n- Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering\n\n- Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them\n\n- Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and operational KPIs — and the observability tooling behind them (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, or similar)\n\n- Have led incident response with tooling like incident.io http://incident.io (or PagerDuty / Opsgenie), run blameless postmortems, and driven down MTTD/MTTR\n\n- Operate confidently on AWS (multiple accounts, IAM, VPC) in production\n\n- Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform) and Kubernetes\n\n- Script and automate to eliminate toil rather than absorb it\n\n- Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers\n\n- Thrive in async, globally distributed teams\n\n- Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating toward better systems over time\n\nWHAT WE OFFER\n\n- Fully Remote\n\nWe hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.\n\n- ESOP\n\nEvery team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.\n\n- Tech Allowance\n\nUse this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.\n\n- Health Benefits\n\nSupabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.\n\n- Annual Off-Sites\n\nOnce a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.\n\n- Flexible Work\n\nWe operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.\n\n- Professional Development\n\nEvery team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.\n\nABOUT THE TEAM\n\nSupabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.\n\n- ~400 team members\n\n- 60+ countries\n\n- 20+ languages spoken\n\n- Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)\n\n- 540,000+ community members\n\nWe move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.","url":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase/f6035bf8-4f44-4425-9944-d5509a3c8652"}
