The posting

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Pipelines team at Supabase. Supabase Pipelines is a managed change data capture product. It copies the tables you select from Supabase Postgres to other systems, then streams later changes. The product is in public alpha, with BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake destinations.

Pipelines uses Postgres logical replication and Supabase ETL, our open source replication engine written in Rust. The team works close to the database. That means replication slots, WAL retention, initial table syncs, and the load they place on a customer's source database. The team also builds and runs the destination connectors. Correctness, ordering and recovery matter there as much as speed.

The Engineering Manager is a people, delivery and technical role. We don't expect you to write production code. We do expect you to join design discussions and help set the bar for engineering quality, testing and operations.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Team & People

- Build a healthy, high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment.

- Run 1:1s, performance management, career development, and onboarding for your direct reports.

- Handle people admin (leave, time off, etc.) for your team.

Hiring

- Own the hiring plan for your team and act as Hiring Manager. First round of interviewer for all roles on the team.

- Partner with Talent Acquisition to source, interview, and close strong candidates.

- Contribute to headcount planning, org design, and the evolution of engineering leadership at Supabase.

Delivery & Roadmap

- Own the team's roadmap and project management (Linear), driving accountability and clear milestones.

- Manage workflow intake and Slack triage. These are the team’s primary inboxes for cross-team requests. You decide what gets routed where, prioritized, or pushed back on.

- Own the team's weekly updates and keep stakeholders aligned without creating overhead.

- Organize effort against support tickets and maintain the team's SLO.

- Surface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early and clearly to leadership.

Incident Commander

- Train as an Incident Commander. Drive coordination, resolution, and post-incident follow-up.

- Lead blameless post-incident reviews

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU

- Have 5+ years of engineering background, with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems.

- Have 3+ years managing remote engineering teams.

- Have managed a team that built and ran data pipelines, change data capture, replication or streaming systems.

- Have strong technical credibility in data systems. We look for delivery guarantees, ordering, idempotency, schema changes and backfills.

- Know Postgres replication well, including logical replication, the WAL and replication slots, and how they affect a production database.

- Know analytical destinations such as BigQuery, Snowflake, ClickHouse or lakehouse table formats like Iceberg.

- Have led a team through production incidents on a system that holds customer data. You ran the follow-up work and kept the review blameless.

- Have shipped a developer-facing data product to customers outside your company.

- Have experience with Rust (not required but a plus)

- Have managed remote, globally distributed teams that work asynchronously across disparate time zones.

- Are technical enough to be credible with strong engineers, but genuinely passionate about people management. This is the work you want to do, not a track you're settling for.

- Build psychological safety and a feedback culture. You give feedback often and in the moment, ask for it back, and create space for the team to do the same.

- Operate as a multiplier. You help individuals achieve more than they could alone, and you don't need to be the best technical voice in the room.

- Coach rather than direct. You remove blockers, connect people to context, and trust your engineers to own how the work gets done.

- Have a real track record of performance management and can speak to specific examples of difficult conversations.

- Are comfortable with ambiguity and can build structure where there isn't much.

- Communicate clearly and write well. You default to async and written, set context early, and surface risks early.

- Are collaborative, low-ego and adaptable. You thrive with high-autonomy senior engineers who don't need you to be the smartest person in the room.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Fully Remote

We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.

- ESOP

Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.

- Tech Allowance

Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.

- Health Benefits

Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.

- Annual Off-Sites

Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.

- Flexible Work

We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.

- Professional Development

Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

- ~400 team members

- 60+ countries

- 20+ languages spoken

- Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)

- 540,000+ community members

We 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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
