About the role

💼 What you will do

• Join Supabase, the Postgres development platform built by developers for developers, in a full-time fully remote role. • Lead an engineering team across developer-facing surfaces, core backend services, Platform, EngOps or Databases. • Apply through a single pipeline and get matched to the team that fits your experience and interests. • Combine people leadership, delivery ownership and technical judgement without writing code directly. • Shape a brand-new role at Supabase from day one. • Train as an Incident Commander and lead blameless post-incident reviews.

📋 Job Requirements

• Bring 5+ years of engineering background, with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems. • Bring 3+ years managing remote engineering teams. • Show experience managing engineering teams at a cloud, SaaS or developer tools company. • Manage globally distributed teams working asynchronously across time zones. • Bring genuine passion for people management rather than treating it as a fallback track. • Build psychological safety and a feedback culture, giving and asking for feedback often. • Operate as a multiplier and coach rather than directing the work yourself. • Show a real track record of performance management, including difficult conversations. • Work comfortably with ambiguity and build structure where there is little. • Communicate clearly and write well, defaulting to async and surfacing risks early. • Work collaboratively and low-ego alongside high-autonomy senior engineers.

🌟 Nice-to-have

• Bring experience with developer tools or databases specifically. • Show experience acting as an Incident Commander. • Bring experience using Linear for roadmap and project management. • Show experience contributing to headcount planning and org design.

🎯 Responsibilities

• Build a healthy, high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment. • Run 1:1s, performance management, career development and onboarding for your direct reports. • Handle people admin such as leave and time off for your team. • Own the hiring plan for your team and act as Hiring Manager and first-round interviewer. • Partner with Talent Acquisition to source, interview and close strong candidates. • Own the team’s roadmap and project management, driving accountability and clear milestones. • Manage workflow intake and Slack triage, deciding what gets routed, prioritised or pushed back. • Own weekly updates and keep stakeholders aligned without creating overhead. • Organise effort against support tickets and maintain the team’s SLO. • Surface risks, dependencies and trade-offs early to leadership. • Drive coordination and resolution during incidents, and lead blameless post-incident reviews.
