About this role.
Supabase is hiring a Developer Relations Engineer to grow adoption through technical content, demos, tutorials, community engagement, and public representation. The role combines full-stack engineering with developer education, including building applications with TypeScript, Postgres, React or similar frameworks, and Supabase. The hire will collaborate with engineering, product, and growth teams while acting as a visible voice at events, livestreams, and online communities. Although the company is globally remote, this position requires a San Francisco-based presence for recurring video shoots and local ecosystem events.

Sample interview questions
I would describe the audience problem, how I selected a realistic use case, and how I validated that the material was easy to follow. I would also share concrete outcomes such as completion feedback, engagement, issue reduction, or adoption, plus improvements I made after community feedback.
I would begin with a small but complete application that solves a recognizable problem, then layer in Supabase capabilities such as Auth, Postgres, Storage, and Realtime only where they add clear value. The repository, video, and written guide would have a fast path to a working result and optional deeper sections for customization.
I use progressive disclosure: explain the core concept and working path first, then link to deeper implementation details, trade-offs, and references. I test content with representative users or teammates and revise unclear terminology, assumptions, and setup steps before publishing.
I would categorize questions by frequency, user stage, product area, and severity, then identify gaps that can be addressed through docs, short videos, templates, or live sessions. I would review performance and subsequent support volume to determine whether the content reduced friction and where follow-up is needed.
I would engage early to understand the user problem, product constraints, and ideal first use cases. I would build and test launch examples against the actual product, coordinate messaging and timing with product and growth, and collect community feedback after launch to improve both content and the developer experience.
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. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Developer Relations Engineer based in San Francisco to join our team and to help more developers discover, learn, and build with Supabase. You’ll create high-impact content, build real-world projects, and represent Supabase across communities and events. If you’re equally energized by writing code and teaching others, this is the role for you.
Why this role matters
Supabase is growing fast with 350,000+ developers, 1,000+ OSS contributors, and a thriving open source ecosystem. Our users are builders, startup founders, weekend hackers, and engineers scaling to millions of users. DevRel is how we meet them where they are: through content, community, and code.
We’re building a community of communities that brings together developers from many backgrounds, including first-time open source contributors. As a DevRel Engineer, you’ll be a bridge between Supabase and the broader developer ecosystem, helping people get started, go deep, and feel connected.
What you’ll do
Make content
Publish compelling technical content, especially video, to help developers learn Supabase quickly
Build demos and tutorials
Ship real-world apps using Supabase and tools like Next.js, React, and Stripe. Write guides that others can follow and remix
Represent Supabase
Speak at meetups, livestream builds, and engage with the developer ecosystem. You’ll be a visible and trusted voice of the platform
Support and grow the community
Celebrate contributors, answer questions, highlight cool projects, and bring developer feedback to the team
Collaborate across the company
Work with engineering, product, and growth to amplify launches, prioritize content, and reduce friction for new users
You might be a fit if:
You’ve built full-stack apps and enjoy sharing your knowledge
You create content that makes people want to open their code editor
You’re equally comfortable writing a video script and TypeScript
You’re energized by community whether it’s on Discord, Twitter, YouTube, or in person
You’re self-directed, organized, and excited to contribute to open source
Requirements
This role is based in San Francisco to support regular in-person devrel video shoots, attend local events, and be an active presence in the SF tech ecosystem.
Strong engineering skills, especially with JavaScript or TypeScript, Postgres, and modern frontend frameworks (React, Svelte, Vue, etc.)
Experience creating technical content (written or video)
Comfortable representing a product publicly (on camera, on stage, or online)
Bonus points if you have:
A growing audience on YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter
Prior experience in DevRel or open source
Have used (and loved) Supabase
