Jobbeschreibung

Platform Engineer at Supabase - Remote Worldwide - Remote

Supabase is a dream setup for digital nomads. The company is fully remote by design - no offices, no headquarters - and explicitly operates on an async-first culture. You manage your own schedule, which means you can be in Bangkok, Medellín, or Lisbon without needing to match a specific timezone window for most of your work. The key caveat: on-call rotations are part of this role, which means you'll need reliable internet and the ability to respond to incidents on short notice, regardless of your local time. Plan nomad moves around your on-call schedule.

Perks that directly benefit travelers:

• WeWork membership or co-working allowance - usable anywhere in the world, eliminating the need to find paid desk space in every new city.
• Tech allowance - cover a travel-ready laptop and peripherals upfront.
• Annual company off-site - a funded, fully-paid trip to a new city each year built into the role.
• Health insurance covers you globally (100% for employee), which is rare and valuable for frequent travelers.

Cost-of-living context: No salary is published, but senior platform/SRE engineers at well-funded Series F startups typically earn $150K-$220K+ USD. That income stretches significantly in Lisbon (~$2,500/mo living costs), Bangkok (~$1,500/mo), or Medellín (~$1,800/mo). Visa-wise, Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa, Thailand's LTR Visa, and Colombia's Digital Nomad Visa all accommodate remote workers at this income tier.

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.

We are seeking a platform engineer to join our Edge & Networking squad. This team owns everything that happens at the network perimeter: API gateway, routing, load balancing, DNS, and secure global traffic distribution.

You will design, build, and operate systems that are both robust and highly automated - enabling us to scale reliably while maintaining low latency and high availability across our global infrastructure.

You will work closely with other infrastructure and product teams to ensure seamless integration, observability, and performance of our edge services.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Help build and maintain the Supabase Cloud offering.
• Design and implement Supabase's global edge router platform.
• Build programmable, API-driven routing logic to dynamically steer customer traffic.
• Work with DNS, WAF, IP networking, TLS termination, CDN integrations, and global load balancing.
• Implement advanced observability: relevant metric and log capturing, latency measurements, traffic shaping, routing health, and failure mitigation.
• Optimize routing performance to minimize latency and improve reliability across cloud regions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to integrate networking solutions into the entire Supabase stack.
• Improve system architecture to reduce costs while balancing security, reliability, and performance.
• Design CI/CD systems to speed up deployments with proper change and release management processes.
• Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews for edge-related issues.
• Resolve escalated support issues, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform.

You Might Be a Fit If You Have

• 5+ years experience in SRE/DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure.
• 4+ years experience building and operating high-scale networking or edge infrastructure.
• Strong experience with HTTP, TCP/IP, TLS certificate management, CDN internals, load balancing, and global routing.
• Proficiency with traffic proxies/routers (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy, Traefik, or building your own).
• Experience designing systems for high availability, failover, and real-time observability.
• Strong software engineering skills (Go).
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across distributed systems.
• Knowledge of IPv6, BGP, Anycast, or advanced routing protocols.
• Experience managing large deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar.
• Comfortable with cloud networking primitives (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi preferred; Terraform/CDK also acceptable).
• Experience being part of on-call rotations for large production systems.

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 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.
• 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 represented
• 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.

Is this role truly fully remote or are there location restrictions? Yes, Supabase is fully remote with no physical offices and hires across 60+ countries.

Supabase operates asynchronously and trusts employees to manage their own time. However, this role includes on-call rotations for edge-related incidents, which may require availability outside standard business hours depending on your timezone. What programming language experience is required? Strong software engineering skills in Go are explicitly required for this role, alongside infrastructure experience with tools like Envoy, NGINX, Pulumi, Terraform, and major cloud platforms. What is the equity (ESOP) structure at Supabase? Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in Supabase. Specific vesting schedules and grant sizes are not disclosed in the job posting, but Supabase has raised over $1B including a $500M Series F. What level of experience is expected for this platform engineer role? The role requires 5+ years in SRE/DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure and 4+ years specifically in high-scale networking or edge infrastructure, indicating a senior-level position.

Helping travelers find remote work and build location-independent careers around the world.
