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.
We're looking for an engineer to own the deployment and operational infrastructure of Multigres, our distributed Postgres platform. You'll be responsible for building and maintaining the Multigres Operator, ensuring reliable cloud deployments, and creating the tooling that powers our Kubernetes-based infrastructure.
What You’ll Be Responsible for:
Build and maintain the Multigres Operator - Maintain our Go-based Kubernetes operator that orchestrates distributed Postgres deployments
Architect cloud deployment infrastructure - Design and implement robust deployment patterns for EKS and other Kubernetes platforms
Manage storage and networking layers - Work with CSI drivers, persistent volumes, and cross-cloud networking to ensure data reliability and connectivity
Develop deployment tooling - Create internal tools and automation for provisioning, scaling, and managing Multigres clusters
Ensure operational excellence - Build monitoring, alerting, and diagnostic capabilities into the deployment layer
Collaborate across teams - Work with database engineers, SRE, and product teams to deliver seamless deployment experiences
You Might Be a Good Fit If You have:
Strong systems programming skills - Proficiency in Go and experience building production-grade operators or controllers
Deep Kubernetes expertise - Hands-on experience with Kubernetes internals, custom resources, and cloud-managed Kubernetes services (EKS, GKE, AKS)
Database operations knowledge - Understanding of database deployment patterns, backup/restore, replication, and high availability
Distributed systems experience - Familiarity with consensus protocols, failure scenarios, and designing for resilience
Cloud infrastructure background - Experience with cloud-native deployment tooling, IaC (Terraform, Pulumi), and cloud provider APIs
Production operations mindset - Track record of building reliable, observable, and maintainable systems
Nice to Have:
Experience with CSI storage drivers and storage orchestration in Kubernetes
Knowledge of cross-cloud networking tools like Cilium, Istio, or similar service mesh technologies
Prior work with sharded query serving systems like Vitess
Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects
