- Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks.
- Co-own the integration of OrioleDB into the Supabase product.
What they're looking for
- Have 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and its ecosystem, including extensions and performance optimization.

- Have experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets.
- Are comfortable with polyglot environments, including builds for C/C++, Go, JavaScript, and Rust-based projects.
- Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers.
- Have experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving.
- Are willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to our Nix-based work.
