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 Commercial & Product Counsel to join our Legal team. You'll work closely with stakeholders across the business to help Supabase ship products faster, close enterprise deals more efficiently, avoid regulatory missteps, and develop our IP portfolio. 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:

• Negotiate enterprise SaaS agreements, licensing deals, reseller contracts, and partnership terms.

• Act as primary product counsel—embed with product teams from concept through launch.

• Advise on global privacy compliance and regulatory requirements.

• Build and maintain legal playbooks, templates, and compliance frameworks.

WHAT YOU HAVE:

• 10+ years of legal experience, with significant in-house tech experience (ideally SaaS).

• Strong commercial contracting and product counseling background.

• Deep privacy law expertise (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, etc.)—privacy certification (CIPP/E or CIPP/US) a plus.

• Licensed to practice law in at least one jurisdiction.

• Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with IP/patents or open-source licensing.

• International employment law knowledge.

• International tax structuring for SaaS.

WHAT YOU ARE:

• Business-minded, not just risk-averse—you don't just want to be told what the law is, but what our solution to our problem should be.

• Strong communicator and relationship builder who is self-starting and self-directed.

• Comfortable in ambiguity and fast-moving environments.

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 We Work 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.

• 180+ team members

• 40+ countries

• 15+ languages spoken

• $496M raised

• 430,000+ community members

• 30,000+ memes posted (and counting)

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.

HIRING PROCESS

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

1. Apply – Our team will review your application.

2. Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.

3. Interviews – Up to four calls with:

• Founders

• Future teammates

• Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)

1. Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.

All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
