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.
Supabase Storage is a scalable and high performance object storage service and is one of our fastest growing services. We are looking for engineers to solve the complexity of uploading, storing, processing and delivering assets once and for all.
You will be working across the entire stack—client libraries, CLI, CDN, the storage server and the deployment infrastructure—contributing to both our open source server and upstream dependencies. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments.
What you'll do
- Improving our analytics bucket offering and improving the storage of open file formats like iceberg and ducklake
- Asset optimization to speed up delivery for websites and mobile applications
- Building out our edge network to speed up uploads and build features like automatic cache invalidation
- Improve the performance, observability, and reliability of our storage server
- Work with the frontend team to build a fast, powerful storage explorer
- Improve our APIs, client libraries and CLI to provide an exceptional end-to-end DX for our users
- Resolve escalated support issues, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform
What they're looking for
- 5+ years backend engineering experience of running Node.js in production
- Experience with highly scalable, distributed systems
- Comfortable working across the stack including backend application development and infrastructure work
- Familiarity with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and performance tuning
- Experience with production-grade PostgreSQL usage, including tuning and troubleshooting
- Ownership mentality: driving projects end-to-end
- Empathy towards developer experience
Nice to have
- Prior experience working on developer tools
- Solid knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Direct experience designing and operating large file upload/download pipelines at scale
- Deep, practical CDN integration and optimization knowledge
- Experience with image and video processing tools, formats and codecs
- Experience with the frontend ecosystem (Next.js, React, etc)
