Postgres Tools Manager

Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote
• Job Type: Full-Time
• Salary: Not specified

Supabase is an Open Source and fully remote company building developer tools for databases. We’re hiring a Postgres Tools Manager to lead our team building and maintaining Postgres tooling. This includes in-postgres tools like extensions and foreign data wrappers, along with low-level out-of-band tools like our connection pooling and change data capture solutions. You’ll lead a small team of talented engineers, get your hands dirty with code, and help shape the direction of key components.

Responsibilities

• Manage rollout and development of pg_replicate — our upcoming CDC/data platform product
• Define and drive our connection pooling direction (e.g., PgBouncer, Supavisor, or another solution)
• Own the strategy for foreign data wrappers, including lightweight API integrations and deeper analytics work (e.g., Iceberg, S3, Delta)
• Oversee maintenance and direction of key extensions (e.g., pg_graphql, pg_jsonschema, index_advisor, etc)
• Support and grow a team of engineers building foundational Postgres tooling

Requirements

• Deep Postgres experience (extensions, internals, performance)
• Experience leading technical teams — including goal setting, direction, and delivery
• Excellent communication and async collaboration skills

We Offer

• 100% remote work from anywhere in the world. No location-based adjustment to your salary.
• Autonomous work. We work collaboratively on projects, but you set your own pace.
• Health, Vision and Dental benefits. Supabase covers 100% of the cost for employees and 80% for dependants.
• Generous Tech Allowance for any office setup you need.
• Annual Education Allowance.
• Annually run off-sites.

About the Team

• We're a startup. It's unstructured.
• Collectively founded more than 30 startups.
• Globally distributed team with more than 30 different nationalities.
• We deeply believe in the efficacy of collaborative open source. We support existing communities and tools, rather than building "yet another xx".
• We "dogfood" everything. If you use it in your project, we use it in Supabase.

Application Process

• The entire process is fully remote and all communication will happen over email or via video chat.
• Once you've submitted your application, the team will review your submission and may reach out for a short screening interview over a video call.
• If you pass the screen you will be invited to up to four follow-up interviews.
  • The calls usually take between 20-45 minutes each depending on the interviewer.
  • Most of the time, are all 1:1.
  • Will be with the founders, a member of either the growth or engineering team (depending on the role) and usually one other person from your immediate team or function.
• Once the interviews are over, the team will meet to discuss several roles and candidates and may:
  • Ask one or two follow-up questions over email or a quick call.
  • Go directly to making an offer.
