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 engineer to own the deployment and operational infrastructure of Multigres, our distributed Postgres platform. You'll build and maintain the Multigres Operator, ensure reliable cloud deployments, and create the tooling that powers our Kubernetes-based infrastructure.
Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. Our globally distributed team includes ~400 team members across 60+ countries, speaking 20+ languages. We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain the Multigres Operator, our Go-based Kubernetes operator that orchestrates distributed Postgres deployments.
- Architect cloud deployment infrastructure: design and implement robust deployment patterns for EKS and other Kubernetes platforms.
- Manage storage and networking layers: work with CSI drivers, persistent volumes, and cross-cloud networking to ensure data reliability and connectivity.
- Develop deployment tooling: create internal tools and automation for provisioning, scaling, and managing Multigres clusters.
- Ensure operational excellence: build monitoring, alerting, and diagnostic capabilities into the deployment layer.
- Collaborate with database engineers, SRE, and product teams to deliver seamless deployment experiences.
What they're looking for
- Strong systems programming skills: proficiency in Go and experience building production-grade operators or controllers.
- Deep Kubernetes expertise: hands-on experience with Kubernetes internals, custom resources, and cloud-managed Kubernetes services (EKS, GKE, AKS).
- Database operations knowledge: understanding of database deployment patterns, backup/restore, replication, and high availability.
- Distributed systems experience: familiarity with consensus protocols, failure scenarios, and designing for resilience.
- Cloud infrastructure background: experience with cloud-native deployment tooling, IaC (Terraform, Pulumi), and cloud provider APIs.
- Production operations mindset: track record of building reliable, observable, and maintainable systems.
Nice to have
- Experience with CSI storage drivers and storage orchestration in Kubernetes.
- Knowledge of cross-cloud networking tools like Cilium, Istio, or similar service mesh technologies.
- Prior work with sharded query serving systems like Vitess.
- Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects.
