[Hiring] Cloud Platform Engineer @Supabase

Role Description

As a Cloud Platform Engineer at Supabase, you’ll join Cloud Engineering, part of Engineering Operations, and shape the foundations that let engineering teams build, ship, and operate infrastructure safely and independently across AWS and GCP. This is a role spanning cloud governance, platform engineering, and hands-on operations. You’ll work across AWS and GCP account structure, identity and access management, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), reusable platform primitives, security boundaries, and self-service workflows for engineers.

You’ll be joining at a point where many of these foundations are being actively defined or reworked. We’re looking for someone who can take ambiguous, messy, business-critical infrastructure problems and turn them into pragmatic systems, tools, standards, and written guidance that scale with the company and empower teams to go faster.

Responsibilities

• Designing and implementing cloud governance across AWS and GCP, including identity, account organization, access controls, and guardrails.
• Building reusable infrastructure and building blocks using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling teams to provision and manage infrastructure safely and consistently.
• Creating self-service capabilities that reduce organizational friction and let engineers move more quickly within sensible boundaries.
• Owning resource governance and visibility: management tagging, a trustworthy inventory of what exists and who owns it, and consistent cross-account billing data.
• Developing reusable security primitives, including secrets storage, KMS, certificate management, token vending, direct service-to-service authentication, mTLS, and related platform services.
• Owning cloud-level network and operational primitives: IP address management, DNS, and health signals such as service-limit and quota alerting.
• Combining software engineering with hands-on operations and total ownership: building, deploying, monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving what you own.
• Establishing and sharing cloud engineering best practices through documentation, internal tooling, examples, and enablement.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in cloud governance, platform engineering, and/or operations.
• Experience operating production systems at scale and carrying on-call for them.
• Experience with significant migrations, e.g., rearchitecting an AWS account topology, introducing IaC for existing infrastructure, centralized identity/SSO, or bringing a second cloud under governance.
• Enjoy building internal platform and self-service experiences for other engineers.
• Deep expertise in at least one—ideally two—of the following areas:
• Tooling & ecosystem: Familiarity with AWS services, IAM/SSO, Well-Architected Framework, GCP, IaC, and compliance requirements.
• Software engineering: Experience writing production code (Go, Rust, or comparable systems language) and managing the SDLC.
• Operations: Experience running production infrastructure, writing alerts and runbooks, and using SLOs.
• Comfortable treating infrastructure as software with relevant experience in IaC and automation.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders in async, globally distributed teams.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and iterate toward better systems over time.

Benefits

• Fully Remote: We hire globally and provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance.
• ESOP: Every team member receives equity ownership in the company.
• Tech Allowance: Budget for setting up your ideal work environment.
• Health Benefits: 100% coverage for employee health insurance and 80% for dependents.
• Annual Off-Sites: Company gatherings in new cities for connection and collaboration.
• Flexible Work: Asynchronous operations with trust in managing your own time.
• Professional Development: Annual education allowance for courses, books, and conferences.

Company Description

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

• ~400 team members
• 60+ countries
• 20+ languages spoken
• Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)
• 540,000+ community members

We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
