• Join Supabase as Engineering Manager for the Pipelines team, working fully remotely from anywhere in the world including the UK.
• Lead Supabase Pipelines, a managed change data capture product that copies selected Postgres tables to other systems and streams later changes.
• Work close to the database on replication slots, WAL retention, initial table syncs and the load they place on a customer's source database.
• Guide a team building destination connectors for BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake, where correctness, ordering and recovery matter as much as speed.
• Build on Supabase ETL, an open source replication engine written in Rust, while the product is in public alpha.
• Combine people, delivery and technical leadership without being expected to write production code.
📋 Job Requirements
• Bring 5+ years of engineering experience, with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems.
• Show 3+ years of managing remote engineering teams across disparate time zones.
• Have managed a team that built and ran data pipelines, change data capture, replication or streaming systems.
• Know Postgres replication well, including logical replication, the WAL and replication slots, and their impact on a production database.
• Understand data systems concepts such as delivery guarantees, ordering, idempotency, schema changes and backfills.
• Show a track record of leading teams through production incidents and running blameless follow-up reviews.
• Demonstrate real experience of performance management, including difficult conversations.
• Communicate clearly in writing and default to asynchronous working.
🌟 Nice-to-have
• Use Rust or have experience with it, which is a plus but not required.
• Know analytical destinations such as BigQuery, Snowflake, ClickHouse or lakehouse table formats like Iceberg.
• Bring experience of shipping a developer-facing data product to customers outside your company.
• Show comfort with ambiguity and an ability to build structure where there isn't much.
🎯 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.
• Own the hiring plan as Hiring Manager, partnering with Talent Acquisition and acting as first-round interviewer for all team roles.
• 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.
• Organise effort against support tickets, maintain the team's SLO and keep stakeholders aligned with weekly updates.
• Surface risks, dependencies and tradeoffs early and clearly to leadership.
• Train as an Incident Commander and lead coordination, resolution and blameless post-incident reviews.
