This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

• Manage OrioleDB release lifecycles, ensuring timely major, minor, and extension upgrades.
• Expand platform release systems to allow developers to increasingly self-service.
• Optimize CI/CD and tooling, specifically expanding GitHub Actions, team tooling, and testing/release approaches.
• Resolve production issues by proactively identifying and fixing problems in customer deployments.
• Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks.
• Co-own the integration of OrioleDB into the supabase product.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and its ecosystem, including extensions and performance optimization.
• Infrastructure Expert with proven experience in management, tooling, and optimization.
• Proficient in the Nix package management system (including flakes) alongside Ansible, Packer, Docker, QEMU/KVM, AWS, and Kubernetes.
• Experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets.
• Comfortable with polyglot environments, including builds for C/C++, Go, JavaScript, and Rust-based projects.
• Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers.
• Experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving.
• Willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to our Nix-based work.
• Experience with integration of emerging features into widely used managed hosted product platforms.
