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

Traditional PR is fading — we go directly to our audience. This role brings together what used to be two separate seats, communications and social media, into one mid-to-senior, hands‑on role: owning Supabase's voice in the channels where developers actually pay attention, and building our founders' presence in them.

"New media" here means modern and direct, not traditional press — we care far more about getting our founders onto the right podcasts and YouTube channels than landing a New York Times placement. It's part comms, part social operator, with a sharper edge than a typical polite PR hire: someone willing to put an opinion out there and push a little rather than always play it safe. But it's not just a social media job either — this person also needs the poise and technical credibility to lead comms through genuinely high‑stakes moments, like a major incident, where reporters, investors, and customers all need a calm, credible, technically fluent voice at the same time.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Make sure we're part of the current conversation and are going directly to our audience — new media over old-world press

• Own and execute our new media strategy

  • Run and grow Supabase's X + LinkedIn accounts, hands on keyboard

  • Help build the accounts of our founders and team — including ghostwriting in their voice

  • Explore and exploit unconventional channels and formats

  • Book our cofounders on the most known shows, podcasts, and YouTube channels in our space

• Work directly with DevRel and the PMM team on launches and Select

• Manage comms around incidents, funding, and other high‑stakes moments — crisis comms handled with poise and technical credibility (this is key)

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Excellent writer with a distinctive voice — equally strong posting as yourself and ghostwriting for others

• Track record of growing accounts, ideally for a technical audience

• Unconventional thinker — willing to put an opinion out there and push a little, with the judgment to know when

• Seasoned enough for the serious moments — incidents, funding, press — calm, credible, and technically fluent

• High agency — you're probably already doing a version of this somewhere scrappier

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.
