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 to own Postgres itself at Supabase. Every Supabase project is a full Postgres database, and Postgres is the foundation that Auth, Storage, Realtime and Edge Functions run on. You'll own the product experience of the database: Postgres versions and upgrades, maintenance, observability, extensions and security.

You'll work closely with our Postgres engineering teams and with the PM lead for Databases, who leads Multigres. You'll define the Postgres requirements that architecture must meet, and own how customers experience their database through that transition.

This role is ideal for someone who loves Postgres, sweats the details that make a database trustworthy, and is excited about improving the experience for millions of developers. Small improvements here compound across every project on the platform.

What You’ll Be Responsible For
  • You'll own Postgres versions, upgrades and end-of-life. Which major and minor versions we support, how and when customers upgrade, and how we retire old versions. Your goal is to make upgrades routine rather than risky.

  • You'll make maintenance predictable. You'll design how we schedule, communicate and run maintenance windows so customers stay informed and in control, and disruption is rare and expected.

  • You'll help developers understand their database. Query performance, metrics, logs and advisors: you'll own the path from "my database is slow" to the fix.

  • You'll own our extension ecosystem. Which extensions we offer, how we evaluate and support new ones, and how we keep them working across versions.

  • You'll own Postgres security. Roles and permissions, Row Level Security ergonomics, secure defaults, and how we respond to Postgres and extension CVEs.

  • You'll talk to developers across the full spectrum, from indie developers on their first project to enterprises running critical workloads, and bring what you learn into every prioritization call.

  • You'll own the problem definition, requirements and success metrics for what we ship, such as upgrade success rate, the share of the fleet on supported versions, and time-to-diagnose for performance problems. You'll set the metric before the team builds, then track it after launch.

  • You'll keep Engineering, Support and GTM aligned. You'll own the plan of record for what's coming, why, and in what order, and communicate version changes and deprecations clearly to customers.

You Might Be a Good Fit If YouMust have
  • 4+ years of Product Management experience on databases, developer tools or infrastructure, or equivalent depth as an engineer, DBA or founder moving into product. You're comfortable commenting on an architecture doc and advocating for the user when trade-offs are required.

  • Know Postgres well, or another relational database well enough to ramp quickly. You're comfortable reading EXPLAIN output and talking about replication, WAL, roles and extensions.

  • Have shipped products where reliability and trust are the experience. You treat downtime and breaking changes as product problems, not just operational ones.

  • Write clearly. Your specs, announcements and deprecation notices leave little room for confusion.

  • Build with what you own. You run queries, test upgrades and try extensions yourself, and form opinions through first-hand use.

  • Use AI to move faster. You use AI tools to compress research, drafting and feedback synthesis so you spend more time on judgment calls.

  • Work async by default. Supabase is fully remote. You make decisions in writing and move work forward without meetings.

Strong signal
  • Worked on a managed database service.

  • Ran Postgres in production: upgrades, tuning, incident response.

  • Worked on database observability, performance tooling, or security and compliance products.

  • Contributed to Postgres, its extensions, or the wider open-source community.

  • Shipped something using Supabase.

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.
