# Site Reliability Engineer **Company**: Supabase **Location**: Remote, Global **Work arrangement**: remote **Experience**: senior **Job type**: full-time **Category**: Engineering **Industry**: Technology **Apply**: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase/ed6cedb1-b9bf-4609-ac5c-c75c33b31bf3?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply **Canonical**: https://yubhub.co/jobs/job_7105988a-446 ## Description ## About the Role Supabase manages millions of Postgres instances and is growing. We have strong teams across observability, release engineering, and incident management , and we're concentrating our reliability efforts into a dedicated SRE practice that ties the discipline together across the platform. You'll be embedded within Service Operations, and your primary job is to make every engineering team more reliable , not by owning their infrastructure, but by establishing the practices, frameworks, and feedback loops that let them own reliability themselves. You'll work across the org: sometimes setting the standard, sometimes pair-programming a fix, sometimes helping a team define their error budget, sometimes telling them it's exhausted. This role is ideal for someone who has a strong vision for how SRE should work and thrives in async, fast-paced environments where influence matters more than authority. ## Responsibilities - Partner with service teams to define meaningful SLIs and SLOs grounded in customer experience, and build the error budget policies that turn them into engineering decisions - Own and evolve the Operational Readiness Review (ORR) process , conducting reviews for new services and major changes across observability, alerting, runbooks, capacity, and graceful degradation - Strengthen the incident-to-improvement pipeline: connecting postmortem findings to operational readiness gaps, identifying repeat failure patterns, and driving systemic fixes - Act as the reliability expert teams pull in for architecture reviews, failure mode analysis, dependency mapping, and resilience design - Identify and quantify operational toil across the org, and build or advocate for automation that eliminates it - Help teams design sustainable on-call practices: alert quality, escalation paths, runbook coverage, and noise reduction - Track and report on org-wide operational maturity, surfacing systemic gaps and driving remediation ## Requirements - Have 7+ years of experience in SRE, production engineering, or reliability-focused roles, including experience shaping SRE practices and driving adoption across engineering teams - Have a software engineering mindset , you write code and build tools, not just configure them - Have hands-on experience defining and operationalizing SLOs/SLIs at scale, including error budget policies that actually influenced engineering decisions - Have deep experience with incident response, postmortem facilitation, and turning incident learnings into systemic improvements - Have worked with large-scale multi-tenant systems (bonus: managed database platforms or Postgres) - Are proficient with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi preferred, Terraform/CDK also acceptable) - Communicate clearly and persuasively , this role requires influencing without authority across a distributed org - Have experience in async or globally distributed teams - Are energized by making other teams more effective rather than being the one who fixes everything ## Nice to Have - Experience with Kubernetes-based platform operations - Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, or similar observability tooling - Experience building developer-facing reliability tooling (SLO dashboards, ORR frameworks, toil tracking, DORA metrics) ## What We Offer - **Fully Remote** We hire globally.
