We are looking for an AI Tooling Engineer with strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript to help build and maintain high-quality AI tools and integrations with Supabase.

As part of our engineering team, you'll play a key role in shaping developer experiences in the AI era. You'll work with multiple teams to bring their AI initiatives to life, and collaborate with AI partners to build robust integrations. If you're dedicated to advancing the AI ecosystem and love building developer-friendly tools, we'd love to hear from you!

You will:

• Develop and maintain Supabase's AI tools like our MCP server.

• Create/update AI & vector guides.

• Create content/integrations with partners.

• Ensure all libraries and tools are fully battle-tested, with comprehensive test coverage, benchmarking, and stress testing.

• Up-to-date knowledge of AI trends and best practices.

• Familiarity with Postgres and database best practices.

• Experience with vector databases and embeddings (preferably with pgvector or similar Postgres extensions).

• Experience with the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, including npm, ES modules, bundlers, and browser compatibility concerns.

• Strong focus on writing tests with frameworks like Vitest or similar, ensuring high test coverage.

• Familiarity with networking concepts (e.g., HTTP, WebSockets, authentication mechanisms).

• Experience working with open-source projects or maintaining developer tools.

• Strong communication skills and a passion for building developer-friendly tools and experiences.

We offer:

• 100% remote work from anywhere in the world. No location-based adjustment to your salary.

• 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.
