## Description

## About the Role

We're looking for a Release Engineer (SRE) to join our Release Engineering team, part of EngOps. As a production-operations expert with an SRE mindset, you'll make deploys safe, observable, and recoverable at scale.

## Responsibilities

In this role, you'll:

- Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets

- Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal by standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows

- Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch

- Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do

- Reduce mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover for deploy-related incidents

- Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil

- Improve deployment observability and auditability

- Document operational procedures, such as break-glass paths, access models, and runbooks

## Reliability & Operations

- Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics

- Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade

- Harden access and break-glass workflows

- Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets

## Requirements

- Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering

- Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them

- Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and operational KPIs

- Have led incident response and run blameless postmortems

- Operate confidently on AWS

- Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code and Kubernetes

- Script and automate to eliminate toil

- Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers

- Thrive in async, globally distributed teams

## What We Offer

- Fully Remote: We hire globally and provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance

- ESOP: Every team member receives equity ownership in the company

- Tech Allowance: Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment

- Health Benefits: Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents

- Annual Off-Sites: Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun

- Flexible Work: We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time

- Professional Development: Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning
