Supabase adds auth, realtime, and restful APIs to Postgres without a single line of code.

Each project within Supabase is an isolated Postgres cluster, allowing customers to scale independently, while still providing the features that you need to build: instant database setup, auth, row level security, realtime data streams, auto-generating APIs, and a simple to use web interface.

We are a fully remote company.

About the team

• We're a startup. It's unstructured.
• Collectively founded more than a dozen venture-backed companies.
• More than 10 different nationalities.
• We deeply believe in the efficacy of collaborative open source. We support existing communities and tools, rather than building "yet another xx".
• We "dogfood" everything. If you use it in your project, we use it in Supabase.

Process

• The entire process is fully remote and all communication will happen over email or via video chat.

• Once you've submitted your application, the team will review your submission, and may reach out for a short screening interview over video call.

• If you pass the screen you will be invited to up to four follow up interviews. The calls: ~ usually take between 20-45 minutes each depending on the interviewer. ~ are all 1:1. ~ will be with both founders, a member of either the growth or engineering team (depending on the role), and usually one other person from your immediate team or function.

• Once the interviews are over, the team will meet to discuss several roles and candidates and may: ~ ask one or two follow-up questions over email or a quick call. ~ go directly to making an offer.
