Description
We are seeking a platform engineer to join our Compute team, which owns critical systems for project provisioning, scaling, and compute services. You will work on the core platform to ensure Supabase can scale across multiple regions, handle high-volume workloads, and provide low-latency, highly available compute services.
You’ll design, build, and operate robust and highly automated systems to provision new projects reliably at scale, optimize resource utilization, and deliver a seamless experience to millions of databases.
Responsibilities

- Improve automation and observability across the compute stack to ensure high availability and performance;
- Improve system architecture to reduce costs while balancing security, reliability, and performance;
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to leverage compute as a core platform offering;
- Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews;
- Resolve escalated support issues and identify systemic issues across the platform.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering skills (Go and Typescript required);
- Experience building and operating cloud infrastructure or distributed systems at scale;

- 3+ years experience working with building custom Kubernetes controllers and operating large-scale clusters;
- Knowledgeable about networking and multi-region infrastructure design;
- Familiar with Postgres;
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi highly preferred, Terraform/CDK etc acceptable);
