Postgres SRE – Cloud-Native Orchestration

Join us to run Postgres like a modern cloud-native service. You’ll be responsible for orchestrating millions of Postgres instances across Kubernetes. This includes lifecycle management, automated provisioning, upgrades, scaling, and secure multi-tenancy.

We’re looking for someone who understands both the internals of Postgres and the operational challenges of running stateful workloads in Kubernetes. You’ll collaborate across infra and product teams to build a scalable platform that powers Supabase’s global Postgres fleet.

What You’ll Work On:

• Design and maintain Postgres orchestration systems in Kubernetes, including provisioning, upgrades, and scaling
• Automate the full lifecycle of Postgres instances, from cluster creation to teardown
• Implement secure, multi-tenant runtime environments with isolation and resource quotas
• Ensure durability and performance for stateful workloads in distributed environments
• Contribute to internal tools and operators that manage Postgres at scale
• Collaborate with database and product teams to deliver a cloud-native database experience
• Monitor, debug, and improve the reliability of Postgres operations across regions and environments

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.

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.
