Responsibilities
About SupabaseSupabase 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.About the RoleWe're looking for engineers to join the team building Supabase Lite, a lightweight, TypeScript-native implementation of Supabase. It runs interchangeably on SQLite and Postgres and ships a PostgREST and Auth compatible API, so applications written against @supabase/supabase-js work as-is. It exists because AI builders and platform partners need a database they can give to every prototype without the cost or the wait: sub-second provisioning, a footprint small enough to run inside a sandbox, and an upgrade path to full Supabase when an app graduates to production.This is a role with a lot of agency. Small team, working product, patterns still to be set - you'll own large areas end to end and make real decisions from day one.What You'll Be Responsible ForIn this role, you'll:Grow API compatibility with the Supabase client, keeping behavior faithful to hosted Supabase and backed by conformance testsBring more of the Supabase stack to SQLiteBuild and harden the path for upgrading a project from Supabase Lite to full SupabaseOwn the developer experience end to end: the CLI, local tooling, and docsBuild and harden the hosted offering on a scale-to-zero, near-zero-cost footing, kept loosely coupled so the implementation can be swapped without a rewriteWork directly with design partners and turn real-world migration and integration friction into a sharper productEngage with the open-source community and contribute back to the broader Supabase stack.You Might Be a Good Fit If YouHave substantial backend or full-stack experience with strong fluency in TypeScript, and have built or contributed to a backend system, framework, or developer platform beforeAre a strong generalist, comfortable moving across the stack from API design to storage internals to infrastructure, and picking up whatever the problem needsRead unfamiliar code without friction. A lot of the work means studying reference implementations in other languages, such as GoTrue in Go and PostgREST in Haskell, and matching their behavior in TypeScriptHave a solid grounding in SQL and relational databases, and the curiosity to dig into where Postgres and SQLite differHave a bias toward compatibility and correctness, and reach for tests and specs to prove behaviorThink around corners. When everyone reaches for the standard playbook, you look for the simpler path that fits a smaller box — breaking a complex system down to the 20% that covers 80% of the need, then making it run somewhere far smaller than it was designed forCare about developer experience: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thingAre comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage work and making sound calls that inform and define the spec. This is a founding role on a brand-new teamAre comfortable working in public repositories on a remote, async teamCommunicate clearly in writingBonus: experience with the Supabase stack, building developer CLIs, or a track record of open-source maintenance.What We OfferFully RemoteWe hire globally.

We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.~400 team members60+ countries20+ languages spokenOver $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)540,000+ community membersWe move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
