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
