Job description

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 Support Engineers to provide world-class developer support for anyone experiencing issues or seeking guidance when using Supabase. The support team is globally distributed with a strong focus on minimizing time to fix, and works closely with the product engineering and growth teams.

You will:

• Provide initial and timely responses to all support cases for a variety of topics, from billing or pre-sales requests to optimization or implementation questions.
• Triage support cases including directing users to previous answers, code examples, documentation, or escalating to specific technical or business team members.
• Monitor multiple feedback channels, e.g. Github Issues & Discussions (check them here: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues).
• Identify where internal tooling might be developed or obtained to improve support efficiency.
• Reproduce issues, create test cases and improve test coverage, if you have experience with testing.

You are:

• Experienced in customer support, with 3+ years of experience providing developer support to technical customers.
• Proficient in SQL (ideally PostgreSQL). You feel comfortable with complex SQL queries. If you have a database administration experience, it’s a plus.
• Excellent communication skills and fluency in English.
• Skilled in using Linux/Unix operating systems and the command line.
• Experienced working with GitHub Issues and Discussions.
• Bonus points if you're familiar with popular JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue, and Svelte and have some experience with Node.js.
• Having a degree in Computer Science is a plus too.

Timezones & Logistics

• It’s a full-time position permanently, with four 10-hour shifts covering weekends during APAC Hours: 00:00-10:00 UTC
• We are primarily looking for someone in Southeast Asia or India time zones for this shift.
• This position covers Friday → Monday based on the above UTC times, so this may vary slightly for your specific timezone.

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.
