Release Engineer

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 Release Engineer (SRE) to join our Release Engineering team (part of EngOps) — a production-operations expert who brings an SRE mindset to how Supabase ships and runs, making deploys safe, observable, and recoverable at scale. This is not a gatekeeper role. You'll make the reliable path the easy path: standardising how we deploy, instrumenting what we ship, and ensuring that when something breaks, we detect it quickly and recover quickly. What You'll Be Responsible For: In this role, you'll: Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets. Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal — standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows. Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly deployable from scratch. Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do. Reduce MTTD/MTTR for deploy-related incidents. Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil. Improve deployment observability and auditability. Document operational procedures. Reliability & Operations: Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics. Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade. Harden access and break-glass workflows. Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability targets. You Might Be a Good Fit If You: Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering. Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them. Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and the observability tooling behind them. Have led incident response with tooling like incident.io and driven down MTTD/MTTR. Operate confidently on AWS (multiple accounts, IAM, VPC) in production. Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code and Kubernetes. Script and automate to eliminate toil. Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers. Thrive in async, globally distributed teams. Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating toward better systems over time. What We Offer: Fully Remote; ESOP; Tech Allowance; Health Benefits; Annual Off-Sites; Flexible Work; Professional Development. 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.
