CLI Engineer

• Join the CLI Team to help build a world-class local development experience for the Supabase CLI. • Work on the CLI, local development tooling, and the developer experience that makes Supabase feel like a first-class part of any dev environment. • Deliver tooling that is consistent, secure, and performant across Windows, Linux, and macOS, working closely with customers, product teams, and the open-source community.

• Bring 5+ years of software development experience with a strong track record in backend systems and/or developer-facing tooling. • Have strong TypeScript skills and professional experience shipping production API and server-side code, with NestJS experience being strongly aligned with how the CLI Team builds. • Have hands-on experience with command-line tools including building, maintaining, or owning CLIs, covering cross-platform concerns such as filesystem access, subprocess management, terminal UX, and platform-specific behaviour. • Be proficient in one or more languages commonly used for CLI and backend work such as TypeScript/Node, Rust, Python, Go, or C++, with depth in TypeScript being essential. • Have experience building CLIs with strong user experience including intuitive command structure, clear output, and actionable error messaging. • Be familiar with package distribution and installation such as npm, yarn, Homebrew, APT, Snap, Scoop, and Chocolatey as they relate to how users install and update tools. • Have solid Git workflow and CI/CD experience for automated testing and deployment.

• Have contributions to open-source CLI tools, libraries, or backend frameworks. • Bring experience with containerisation and orchestration such as Docker and Kubernetes. • Have familiarity with database migration management, Postgres, and related drivers or protocols where they intersect platform or CLI workflows.

• Design, build, and operate backend APIs and services in TypeScript using NestJS patterns, prioritising security, performance, and clear contracts for internal and external consumers. • Design and develop CLI tooling that is consistent, secure, and performant across Windows, Linux, and macOS. • Collaborate with product and platform teams to define end-to-end behaviour from HTTP/API design through to how the CLI and local development stack surface those capabilities. • Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests across backend and CLI so reliability and maintainability stay high as the surface area grows. • Create documentation and help content for API consumers, CLI users, and contributing developers. • Participate in releases, versioning, and backwards compatibility for the components you own. • Monitor usage and feedback and work with customers and the open-source community to improve both API/backend and CLI experiences.

• Work fully remotely from anywhere in the world. • Receive ESOP equity ownership in the company. • Get a tech allowance to set up your ideal work environment. • Receive 100% employer-covered health insurance with 80% coverage for dependents. • Attend annual company off-sites in a new city each year. • Work flexibly and asynchronously with full trust to manage your own time. • Receive a professional development allowance for courses, books, conferences, and learning. • Access a WeWork membership or co-working allowance usable anywhere in the world.
