Jobbeschreibung

OrioleDB Deployment Engineer at Supabase - Remote — Remote

Supabase is one of the most nomad-friendly employers in tech. This role is fully async with no office, no required timezone, and an explicit global hiring policy. The company operates across 60+ countries, meaning your workday can flex around your location — whether you're on a beach in Bali or at a café in Lisbon.

Key perks for nomads:

• WeWork membership or co-working allowance — usable anywhere in the world, eliminating the need to hunt for a reliable workspace.
• Tech allowance — covers your gear setup so you're not tied to a fixed desk.
• Annual company off-site — a funded, fully paid travel week each year where you meet the team.

Visa considerations: With no country restrictions stated, you have wide flexibility. Popular options include Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa (D8), Thailand's LTR Visa, or Colombia's digital nomad visa. Since Supabase hires as a global employer, confirm whether they engage a local employer-of-record or pay as a contractor in your country.

Cost-of-living context (no salary disclosed): Even at mid-range SWE rates, this role comfortably covers life in Medellín (~$1,500/mo), Bangkok (~$1,800/mo), or Lisbon (~$2,500/mo). The async culture means no timezone penalties for working from Southeast Asia or South America.

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 an OrioleDB Deployment Engineer to join our OrioleDB Team and help elevate our OrioleDB offering. You'll work closely with the OrioleDB team, playing an instrumental role in technical decision-making and refining internal methodologies.

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

• Package software into our supabase/postgres repo using Nix (with flakes), and help transition our packaging from traditional to Nix packaging over time.
• Manage OrioleDB release lifecycles, ensuring timely major, minor, and extension upgrades.
• Expand platform release systems to allow developers to increasingly self-service.
• Optimize CI/CD and tooling, specifically expanding GitHub Actions, team tooling, and testing/release approaches.
• Resolve production issues by proactively identifying and fixing problems in customer deployments.
• Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks.
• Co-own the integration of OrioleDB into the Supabase product.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and its ecosystem, including extensions and performance optimization.
• Are an Infrastructure Expert with proven experience in management, tooling, and optimization.
• Are proficient in the Nix package management system (including flakes) alongside Ansible, Packer, Docker, QEMU/KVM, AWS, and Kubernetes.
• Have experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets.
• Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers.
• Have experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving.
• Are willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to our Nix-based work.
• Have experience with integration of emerging features into widely used managed hosted product platforms.

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.

• Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment — laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
• Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are.
• Annual Off-Sites

  Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun.

• 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.
