The role, at a glance.
Supabase is hiring a senior Product Manager to own the Realtime product area, including Broadcast, Presence, Postgres Changes, roadmap definition, packaging, and pricing. The role serves developers building live, collaborative, and event-driven applications and requires close partnership with Engineering, Design, GTM, Finance, and Billing. The successful candidate combines deep product-management experience for developer tools with practical knowledge of full-stack development, Postgres, and real-time architecture patterns. This is an asynchronous, highly autonomous global remote role focused on data-informed prioritization and clear written decision-making. Experience with sync engines, local-first products, live-query systems, or developer communities is a strong advantage.

Sample interview questions
I would combine quantitative usage and reliability data with qualitative developer research, segmenting by use case and customer maturity. I would prioritize problems with high developer impact, strategic differentiation, and a feasible path to measurable improvement, then publish the rationale and success metrics.
I would map the activation funnel from documentation discovery through implementation and production usage, then inspect instrumentation by framework, project type, and error state. I would pair this analysis with customer interviews and support feedback to identify whether the primary barrier is comprehension, setup complexity, reliability, pricing, or an unmet use case.
The product must make reliability, latency, scalability, authorization, observability, and pricing understandable without overwhelming developers. I would also focus on ergonomic APIs, excellent documentation, predictable failure behavior, and integrations that fit existing application architectures.
I would write a concise decision document that frames the user problem, evidence, constraints, options, trade-offs, recommendation, and open questions. This creates a durable record, enables thoughtful comments across time zones, and makes ownership and next steps explicit.
I would begin with customer value and usage patterns, identifying the dimensions that drive cost and value, such as concurrent connections, messages, throughput, or retained events. I would test packaging concepts with users and Finance, model behavior and margins, and ensure pricing is transparent enough that developers can forecast costs as they scale.

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 hiring a Product Manager for Supabase Realtime. You’ll own the surface area developers use to build live, collaborative and event-driven apps on Supabase: Broadcast, Presence, Postgres Changes, and the capabilities we build next.
You’ll work closely with the Realtime Engineering team and with partners across Product Management, Design and GTM.
This role is ideal for someone who’s excited about building tools for millions of developers and who has a passion for the types of user experiences unlocked by simple, scalable real-time channels. You should have a nuanced understanding of full-stack application development, including existing and emerging real-time and sync patterns.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
You’ll collaborate with customers of all sizes and expertise levels: from an indie developer adding live updates to a side project, to startups building collaborative SaaS, to enterprise teams streaming live data to dashboards.
You’ll own the problem statements and solution rationale behind the Realtime roadmap. This means working with Engineering and Design to shape how Supabase crafts the developer experience for the problems you’ve prioritized solving.
You’ll shape how Realtime evolves to enable future application experiences, including its role in AI apps and alongside other Supabase products.
You’ll own Realtime packaging and pricing, working with Pricing, Finance and Billing.
You’ll use data to understand how Supabase developers are using Realtime features: where they succeed, where they get stuck, and what to tackle first.
You’ll keep Engineering, Design and GTM aligned. You’ll own the plan of record for what’s coming, why, and in what order.
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Must have
5+ years of Product Management experience on developer tools, or are an ex-founder with equivalent depth. You’re comfortable commenting on an architecture doc, following a design discussion, and advocating for the user when trade-offs are required.
Have owned an app development platform, feature or framework where real-time was core to the developer experience.
Get your own answers from data. You know what you care about in terms of product instrumentation and are comfortable querying and cleaning your own findings.
Are comfortable with Postgres and familiar with logical replication.
Work async by default. Supabase is fully remote. You make decisions in writing and move work forward without meetings.
Strong signal
You have an existing audience among developers, through social media, open source or developer advocacy.
Worked on a sync engine, local-first or live-query product.
Worked with gaming, AR or collaborative-tool customers.
Shipped something using Supabase.
