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

Auth, written in Go (server) and with client libraries for TypeScript, SSR and for other frameworks and technologies, is one of the most popular products in the Supabase stack. We are seeking someone to help us build new and maintain existing Auth features.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Own the performance, reliability, and scalability of the Auth server across Supabase's infrastructure.

• Plan and execute safe database migrations across a large fleet of Postgres instances.

• Build and improve observability: metrics, tracing, alerting, and dashboards to keep the system healthy at scale.

• Collaborate with platform and infrastructure teams on deployment orchestration, deployment pipelines, and AWS resource management.

• Contribute to the evolution of Auth's architecture with a focus on operational excellence and long-term maintainability.

• Write and review RFCs as part of our development process.

• Collaborate with engineers across Supabase to ensure a seamless experience for developers using our tools.

You might be a good fit if you:

• (Required) Have 4+ years of professional experience writing and shipping Go in production.

• (Required) Have hands-on experience building and operating services at significant scale.

• (Required) Have strong relational database experience (Postgres or MySQL); Postgres experience is a bonus.

• Have deep understanding of systems-level concerns: memory management, concurrency patterns, and compute resource optimization in Go.

• Have experience with Kubernetes and AWS (or comparable cloud platform) in a production setting.

• Have solid grasp of observability practices — metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging, and alerting (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry).

• Have experience managing database schema migrations safely at scale.

• Are familiar with multi-tenant architecture patterns and the operational challenges they introduce.

• Have authentication domain experience or interest is a plus, but not required.

• Have good technical writing skills (RFC process is an important part of making changes to the Auth product and related infrastructure).
