• Experience with AI and data governance, model and data usage rights, or emerging product compliance issues
• Experience supporting enterprise SaaS customers or security and privacy reviews

What You Are

• Business minded and pragmatic
• Product oriented, not just risk oriented
• Clear, concise, and comfortable communicating with technical teams
• Self directed and comfortable working async
• Good at simplifying complexity
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast moving product decisions
• High judgment, low ego, and willing to build the practical systems that help legal scale

Benefits

• Fully Remote: We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.
• ESOP: Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.
• Tech Allowance: Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
• Health Benefits: Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.
• Annual Off-Sites: Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.
