## Job description

## 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 are looking for a Software Engineer: IaC Platform Experience to join our Interfaces team and own the Terraform provider as a core part of Supabase's developer platform.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the Go codebase behind the Supabase Terraform provider. You will partner with product and engineering leadership on roadmap priorities, drive technical execution, and ensure we ship a reliable, predictable, and well-documented Terraform experience for developers at scale.

You will focus on resource behavior, lifecycle correctness, schema evolution, upgrade safety, and practical migration paths for existing users.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and enjoys building practical platform primitives that millions of developers can rely on.

## WHAT YOU’LL OWN

- Own the Go Terraform provider codebase, including architecture, implementation quality, test strategy, and release readiness.
- Improve Terraform provider reliability and ergonomics, including resource behavior, data sources, lifecycle edge cases, and upgrade safety.
- Drive technical strategy for IaC workflows through design docs, RFCs, and iterative delivery.
- Build practical migration and interoperability paths for existing Terraform users.
- Partner with product and engineering leadership in a shared roadmap model to define priorities, scope, and outcomes.
- Monitor customer feedback, OSS issues, and usage signals to continuously improve the Terraform experience.
- Create clear documentation and examples that make IaC workflows easier to understand and adopt.

## WHAT YOU BRING

- 5+ years of software engineering experience in developer platforms, infrastructure tooling, or distributed systems.
- Strong proficiency in Go and a track record of shipping production-grade developer tooling.
- Deep experience with Terraform provider behavior, declarative resource models, and lifecycle edge cases.
- Strong understanding of schema design, versioning, and backwards compatibility.
- Experience owning or contributing to a provider codebase with real user adoption and upgrade constraints.
- Experience with testing strategy for providers and IaC tooling (unit, integration, and end-to-end) plus CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with release/versioning strategies and backwards compatibility in widely used developer tooling.
- Strong written communication and a track record of clear technical design docs and RFCs.
- Nice to have: familiarity with TypeScript-based tooling, Supabase CLI workflows, and GitHub-centric automation.

## DECISION-MAKING AND COLLABORATION

- This role operates in a shared consensus model for major technical decisions with peers and leadership.
- You are expected to lead proposals and recommendations, align stakeholders, and move decisions to clear outcomes.

## 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.
