Developer Productivity Engineer

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 a DevProd Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and own developer experience, from local setup to production deploy. You’ll work closely with engineering teams at Supabase, helping eliminate friction, optimize build times, and make reliably shipping to production effortless.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

What You’ll Be Responsible for

In this role, you’ll:

• Improve developer workflows and tooling

  • Own local development environment stability; eliminate “works on my machine” and make onboarding seamless and self-service patterns available for engineers

  • Integrate and optimize developer workflow tools (e.g. Graphite, or automated code review tools)

  • Build internal tooling that eliminates friction and lets engineers focus on shipping features

  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure tooling scales with our growth

• Drive engineering excellence

  • Introduce metrics, observability, and feedback loops to identify engineering productivity bottlenecks and improve upon them

  • Establish automation and practices that catch issues early on within the development cycle

  • Champion best practices, be a force multiplier for our engineering org

• Own CI/CD & Release Automation

  • Make releases and rollbacks (both monorepo-based, and otherwise) reliable, effortless, and safe by using mechanisms such as canary environments, blue/green deploys, etc

  • Profile build and deployment performance, optimize CI pipelines to make builds fast and reliable; hunt down bottlenecks, parallelize tests, eliminate waiting

  • Audit and optimize container images; reduce size, improve caching, speed up deployments

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a focus on developer productivity, infrastructure, or platform engineering

• Are passionate about developer experience and productivity; you notice when engineers are fighting tools rather than solving problem, and you can’t help but fix it

• Are proficient in Go and Typescript and use them to build robust internal tools

• You have experience with:

  • monorepo tooling and package managers like pnpm or Nx

  • CI/CD tools (e.g. Github Actions, ArgoCD, Octopus, Harness)

• You’ve made local development environments stable and reproducible across teams

• Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences

• Have experience in async or globally distributed teams

• Are energized by solving real-world problems for developers

• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly

Hiring Process

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

1. Apply – Our team will review your application.

2. Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.

3. Interviews – Up to four calls with:

   • Founders

   • Future teammates

   • Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)

4. Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.

All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
