Job Description
Supabase is a Postgres platform created by engineers for engineers, with a database, login and file storage, edge functions, realtime messaging and vector search included. The company is fully remote and works asynchronously across more than 60 countries.
This Engineering Manager job is a newly created people leadership role. Managers lead teams across developer-facing products, core backend services, the platform, engineering operations and databases, and candidates are matched to a team based on their background. The job combines people leadership, delivery and technical judgement. Managers are not expected to ship code daily, but they join design reviews and help set quality standards.
Responsibilities include building a trusting team culture, holding one-to-ones, handling performance and career growth, and owning hiring as the hiring manager. Managers also keep the team's roadmap in Linear, decide how cross-team requests from intake queues and Slack are handled, keep stakeholders updated, and watch the team's service-level objective. Training as an incident commander and running blameless reviews is part of the role.
