Release Engineer

Overview

ABOUT SUPABASE Supabase 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.

What you'll do

• Release Engineering's scope has grown well beyond build-and-ship: we increasingly own the operational reliability of the systems that deploy and run Supabase.
• In this role you'll treat our deployment pipelines, pre-production signal, and the control plane itself as production systems, with SLOs, error budgets, and on-call ownership, and you'll be the person teams lean on when reliability is on the line.
• This is not a "gatekeeper" role.
• You'll make the reliable path the easy path: standardising how we deploy, instrumenting what we ship, and ensuring that when something breaks, we detect it quickly and recover quickly.
• WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 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, standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows
• Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch (untangling undocumented secrets, unclear configuration ownership, and circular service dependencies)

Requirements

• Practical experience with Go, Rust, AWS, Kubernetes.
• Experience level: 5+ yrs.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English.
• Comfortable working remotely with distributed teams.
