I would segment failures by file size, geography, client version, protocol step, and retry behavior, then reproduce the highest-volume pattern. From there, I would validate timeout, multipart upload, checksum, and idempotency behavior before shipping a measured fix with dashboards and alerts. Describe how you would improve the reliability of an S3-compatible storage API under heavy concurrent traffic. I would first establish service-level objectives and identify bottlenecks through latency, error-rate, saturation, and database metrics. I would design idempotent operations, bounded retries with backoff, safe rate limits, and durable handling of partial or interrupted uploads. I would also load-test realistic traffic patterns and use capacity results to guide scaling and caching decisions. What is your approach to PostgreSQL performance tuning for a storage metadata service? I start with query plans and production workload evidence rather than adding indexes blindly. I examine slow queries, lock contention, connection pressure, table growth, vacuum health, and index selectivity, then make targeted schema, query, or indexing changes. I validate improvements under representative load and monitor for regressions after deployment. How would you approach cache invalidation for assets delivered through an edge network? I would use versioned asset keys or content hashes wherever possible so new content naturally receives a new cache key. For mutable paths, I would define explicit invalidation semantics, propagation expectations, and observability for cache hit rate and stale responses. The design should balance correctness, purge cost, origin load, and a predictable developer experience. How do you work effectively in an asynchronous, globally distributed engineering team? I document decisions, scope, trade-offs, and rollout plans so teammates can review and contribute across time zones. I keep work visible through concise written updates, break projects into independently reviewable milestones, and raise risks early. For incidents or ambiguous decisions, I provide evidence and a recommended path rather than waiting for synchronous direction. Opportunity details ## About this role. ### 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 [Supabase Storage](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/storage) is a scalable and high performance object storage service and is one of our fastest growing services. The current landscape of tools for uploading, storing, processing and delivering assets is complicated. Developers are forced to think about regions, caching, codecs and security before they can start uploading anything. We are looking for engineers to solve this problem once and for all! You will be working across the entire stack – client libraries, CLI, CDN, the storage server and the deployment infrastructure. One day, you might focus on improving upload resilience in iOS applications; the next, you could be optimizing the S3 protocol for efficient retries or finding ways to accelerate upload processing. You will be contributing to both our [open source server](https://github.com/supabase/storage) and upstream dependencies we use, like the [TUS server](https://github.com/tus/tus-node-server/pulls?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Apr+author%3Afenos+is%3Amerged). This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions. ### What You’ll Be Responsible For * Improving our analytics bucket offering and improving the storage of open file formats like iceberg and ducklake * Asset optimization to speed up delivery for websites and mobile applications * Building out our edge network to speed up uploads and build features like automatic cache invalidation * Improve the performance, observability, and reliability of our storage server * Work with the frontend team to build a fast, powerful storage explorer * Improve our APIs, client libraries and CLI to provide an exceptional end-to-end DX for our users * Resolve escalated support issues, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform ### You Might Be a Good Fit If You * Have 5+ years backend engineering experience of running Node.js in production * Have experience with highly scalable, distributed systems * Are comfortable with working across the stack – backend application development, some infrastructure work including deploying, monitoring and scaling the service * Posses familiarity with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and performance tuning * Have experience with production-grade PostgreSQL usage, including tuning and troubleshooting * Demonstrate an ownership mentality: driving projects end-to-end * Display empathy towards developer experience ### Nice-to-have * Prior experience working on developer tools * Solid knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) * Direct experience designing and operating large file upload/download pipelines at scale * Deep, practical CDN integration and optimization knowledge * Experience with image and video processing tools (sharp, dssim, ffmpeg), formats and codecs (AVIF, WebM, Brotli) is a plus * Experience with the frontend ecosystem (Next.js, React, etc) is a plus ### 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.
