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.

Compute https://supabase.com/compute is our newly launched microVM architecture for running agentic workloads, operating alongside our existing Edge Functions https://supabase.com/docs/guides/functions service for server-side TypeScript functions distributed globally at the edge.

We want developers to be able to build truly global applications by distributing both compute and data globally. Infrastructure concerns like regions, cold starts, CPU and memory provisioning should fade into the background so developers can focus on iterating on business logic, and fast, flexible runtimes a growing range of agent-driven code.

We are looking for experienced and passionate engineers to help us go further in this vision.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

- Help build & architect the Supabase Compute platform, built on Firecracker microVMs.

- Implementing monitoring, alerting, and OpenTelemetry tracing across the runtime, then using that visibility to drive optimizations that improve latency and reliability of the service.

- Working closely with the Firecracker, Deno, and other open-source teams, contributing to upstream and relaying our users' requirements.

- Participating in an on-call rotation to keep Compute healthy in production.

- Help manage and improve features like scheduled functions, background tasks, WebSockets streaming, ephemeral file storage, and custom routing.

- Integrating Compute more tightly with the rest of the Supabase stack — Auth, Postgres, Storage, and Realtime.

- Expanding the Compute runtime to support more use cases (AI inference, MCP servers, hosting simple websites, URL shorteners).

- Improving the DX of developing and debugging Compute locally through the Supabase CLI, including DevTools integration, logging, and production parity.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

- At least 5 years of backend or systems engineering experience, with strong fluency in Rust and TypeScript.

- Experience with Firecracker, V8 Isolates, Deno, and related runtime isolation technologies .

- Experience operating infrastructure at scale — Kubernetes, AWS (EC2/Lambda/MicroVM), Cloudflare Workers, Redis, or comparable systems.

- A strong vision for how compute and data can be pushed to the edge.

- Bonus: experience building developer-facing CLIs or front-end tooling that sits on top of an infrastructure product.

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.
