Engineering Manager

• Lead engineering teams across Supabase spanning developer-facing surfaces, core backend services, Platform, EngOps, and Databases. • Shape a brand-new Engineering Manager role from day one as Supabase invests in people leadership alongside its historically strong technical excellence. • Serve as a people, delivery, and technical leader, participating in design discussions and setting the bar for engineering quality and best practices.

• Bring 5+ years of engineering background with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems. • Have 3+ years managing remote engineering teams. • Have managed engineering teams at a cloud, SaaS, or developer tools company, with experience in developer tools or databases being a strong preference. • Have managed remote, globally distributed teams that work asynchronously across disparate time zones. • Be technical enough to be credible with strong engineers but genuinely passionate about people management as the work you want to do. • Build psychological safety and a feedback culture, giving feedback often and in the moment, asking for it back, and creating space for the team to do the same. • Operate as a multiplier focused on helping individuals achieve more than they could alone. • Coach rather than direct, removing blockers, connecting people to context and resources, and trusting engineers to own how the work gets done. • Have a real track record of performance management with specific examples of difficult conversations and how you navigated them. • Be comfortable with ambiguity and capable of building structure where there is not much. • Communicate clearly and write well, being default async, default written, setting context proactively, and surfacing risks early. • Be collaborative, low-ego, and adaptable, thriving with high-autonomy senior ICs who have strong technical opinions.

• Have experience with developer tools or databases specifically rather than general SaaS or cloud. • Have experience as an Incident Commander driving coordination, resolution, and post-incident follow-up. • Have experience with headcount planning, org design, and shaping the evolution of engineering leadership at a growing company. • Have experience managing support ticket SLOs and cross-team request triage in a platform engineering context.

• Build a healthy, high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment. • Run 1:1s, performance management, career development, and onboarding for direct reports. • Own the hiring plan for your team and act as Hiring Manager, partnering with Talent Acquisition to source, interview, and close strong candidates. • Contribute to headcount planning, org design, and the evolution of engineering leadership at Supabase. • Own the team's roadmap and project management in Linear, driving accountability and clear milestones. • Manage workflow intake and Slack triage, deciding what gets routed, prioritised, or pushed back on. • Own the team's weekly updates and keep stakeholders aligned without creating overhead. • Organise effort against support tickets and maintain the team's SLO. • Surface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early and clearly to leadership. • Train as an Incident Commander, driving coordination, resolution, and post-incident follow-up. • Lead blameless post-incident reviews.
