About the 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
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Pipelines team at Supabase. Supabase Pipelines is a managed change data capture product. It copies the tables you select from Supabase Postgres to other systems, then streams later changes. The product is in public alpha, with BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake destinations.
Pipelines uses Postgres logical replication and Supabase ETL, our open source replication engine written in Rust. The team works close to the database. That means replication slots, WAL retention, initial table syncs, and the load they place on a customer's source database. The team also builds and runs the destination connectors. Correctness, ordering and recovery matter there as much as speed.
The Engineering Manager is a people, delivery and technical role. We don't expect you to write production code. We do expect you to join design discussions and help set the bar for engineering quality, testing and operations.
