About the role
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. 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.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Pipelines team at Supabase. Supabase Pipelines is a managed change data capture product that copies tables from Supabase Postgres to other systems and streams later changes. The product is in public alpha, with BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake destinations.
The Engineering Manager is a people, delivery and technical role. While you won't write production code, you will join design discussions and help set the bar for engineering quality, testing and operations for a team working close to the database on replication engines and destination connectors.
What you'll do
- Build a healthy, high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment.
- Run 1:1s, performance management, career development, and onboarding for direct reports.
- Own the hiring plan, act as Hiring Manager, and conduct first-round interviews.
- Own the team's roadmap and project management using Linear, driving accountability and clear milestones.
- Manage workflow intake, Slack triage, and prioritize cross-team requests.
- Organize effort against support tickets and maintain the team's SLO.
- Surface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early and clearly to leadership.
- Train as an Incident Commander to drive coordination, resolution, and lead blameless post-incident reviews.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of engineering background with depth in complex systems.
- 3+ years managing remote engineering teams.
- Experience managing a team that built and ran data pipelines, change data capture, replication or streaming systems.
- Strong technical credibility in data systems regarding delivery guarantees, ordering, idempotency, and schema changes.
- Knowledge of Postgres replication, including logical replication, the WAL, and replication slots.
- Knowledge of analytical destinations such as BigQuery, Snowflake, ClickHouse or lakehouse table formats like Iceberg.
- Experience leading a team through production incidents on systems holding customer data.
- Track record of performance management and handling difficult conversations.
- Strong written communication skills with a default to asynchronous work.
Nice to have
- Experience with Rust.
- Experience shipping a developer-facing data product to external customers.
