I would add automated checks for build reproducibility, extension compatibility, security updates, and image artifacts before promoting releases. Describe your approach to planning and executing a PostgreSQL major-version upgrade for a managed platform. I would begin with compatibility assessment, extension validation, backup and rollback testing, capacity planning, and clear customer impact analysis. I would automate staged upgrades through non-production environments, monitor replication and performance closely, and use documented rollback paths plus phased customer communication for production rollout. What steps would you take to improve a slow or unreliable CI/CD release pipeline? I would first measure queue time, test duration, failure patterns, cache effectiveness, and artifact dependencies. Then I would parallelize independent jobs, improve dependency caching, make builds deterministic, separate fast validation from longer integration tests, and add release gates that focus on meaningful reliability signals. How would you troubleshoot a production deployment issue affecting customer PostgreSQL instances? I would establish scope and severity, review recent changes and deployment telemetry, and compare impacted instances with healthy baselines. I would mitigate customer impact first through rollback, traffic controls, or targeted remediation, then identify the root cause, add regression coverage, and communicate findings and prevention actions clearly. How would you mentor application engineers who are new to Nix and encourage adoption across the organization? I would provide practical starter templates, clear documentation, pairing sessions, and examples tied to the team’s existing repositories and developer workflows. I would prioritize reducing friction through good defaults and tooling, collect feedback, and gradually expand ownership so engineers can confidently maintain their own Nix configurations. ### 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 Postgres Deployment Engineer to join our PostgreSQL team and help elevate our PostgreSQL offerings. You’ll work closely with the PostgreSQL team, playing an instrumental role in technical decision-making and refining internal methodologies. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions. The focus of this role is owning the stability and deployment of our products. You will act as a bridge between product and infrastructure teams to improve the reliability of deployments and upgrades. You will have co-responsibility for builds and deployments via our public supabase/postgres GitHub repository, which bundles features into Docker images and AWS AMIs for cloud and local use. ### What You’ll Be Responsible For * Package software into our supabase/postgres repo using Nix (with flakes), and help us transition our packaging from traditional to Nix packaging more over time. * Manage PostgreSQL lifecycles, ensuring timely major, minor, and extension upgrades. * Expand platform release systems to allow developers to increasingly self-service. * Optimize CI/CD and tooling, specifically expanding GitHub Actions, team tooling, and testing/release approaches. * Resolve production issues by proactively identifying and fixing problems in customer deployments. * Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks. ### You Might Be a Good Fit If You * Have 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and its ecosystem, including extensions and performance optimization. * Are an Infrastructure Expert with proven experience in management, tooling, and optimization. * Are proficient in the Nix package management system (including flakes) alongside Ansible, Packer, Docker, QEMU/KVM, AWS, and Kubernetes. * Have experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets. * Are comfortable with polyglot environments, including builds for C/C++, Go, JavaScript, and Rust-based projects. * Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers. * Have experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving. * Are willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to our Nix-based work. ### 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. ### 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 * 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.
