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. We’re looking for Engineering Managers to lead engineering effort on Supabase Spark. Supabase Spark is an initiative to build the next frontier of agentic databases, supporting billions of databases, with millions of databases created every day.

Although we don’t require managers to contribute to code directly, we do expect you to participate in design discussions and to be involved in setting the bar for engineering quality and best practices.

Run 1:1s, performance management, career development, and onboarding for your direct reports.

– Contribute to headcount planning, org design, and the evolution of engineering leadership at Supabase.

Own the team’s roadmap and project management (Linear), driving accountability and clear milestones.

– These are the team’s primary inboxes for cross-team requests. Surface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early and clearly to leadership.

Have 5+ years of engineering background, with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems.

- Have 3+ years managing remote engineering teams.
- Have managed engineering teams at a cloud, SaaS, or developer tools company.
- Experience with developer tools or databases, plus if that includes both SQLite and Postgres ecosystems.
- Strong technical credibility in backend and database systems: APIs, auth, and Postgres access control (roles, grants, RLS) etc.




- Has led a team shipping a developer facing API or platform product from early stage to production.
- Are technical enough to be credible with strong engineers, but genuinely passionate about people management. Focused on helping individuals achieve more than they could alone, not on being the best technical voice in the room.
- Have a real track record of performance management and can speak to specific examples of difficult conversations and how you navigated them.
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and capable of building structure where there isn’t much.
- You’re default async, default written, set context proactively, and surface risks early.
- You thrive working with high-autonomy, senior ICs who have strong technical opinions and don’t need to be the smartest person in the room.
- 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

Flexible Work

Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.

We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

- ~20+ languages spoken
- 540,000+ community members

We move quick, 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.
