[Hiring] Software Engineer, AI Tooling Infrastructure @Supabase

Role Description

We’re looking for a Software Engineer, AI Tooling Infrastructure to join our AI Tooling team and help build and run the backend services behind Supabase’s AI products. The Supabase MCP server is one example of what the team runs in production, alongside the services that support agent skills and the dashboard assistant. You’ll work closely with the Platform, SRE, Auth, Billing and Edge Functions teams, and with the engineers on the AI Tooling team who build the product surfaces.

The AI Tooling team runs its own services in production and carries its own on-call. Traffic from AI clients and agents behaves differently from traffic from people: hundreds of calls a minute, retry loops, and no reading of deprecation warnings. This role makes sure the services they use are reliable, correctly authorized and observable. It is a systems and infrastructure role rather than a product AI role, and it is not an SRE role. You will build and operate these systems, not only advise on them.

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

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience building and running backend services in production, and have carried on-call for them.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript or Go, and comfortable working in the other.
• Experience designing and operating APIs with real consumers: versioning, error handling, rate limiting, and backwards-compatible change.
• Knowledge of OAuth, OIDC, JWT and API authorization well enough to debug them in production.
• Good understanding of PostgreSQL and relational databases.
• Comfortable with CI/CD, Docker and containerized deployments, and with infrastructure as code.
• Ability to debug across services: follow a slow or failing request through several systems using metrics, traces and logs.
• Clear written communication skills and ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly.

Requirements

• Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas:
• APIs and auth: Designed permission models, token scopes or OAuth flows for third-party or machine clients.
• Operations: Run production services, carried the pager, written alerts and runbooks.
• Gateways and distributed systems: Built or run proxies or gateways, debugged hard failures across services.

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% health insurance coverage for employees and 80% for dependents.
• Annual Off-Sites: Company gathers once a year for connection and collaboration.
• Flexible Work: Operate asynchronously and manage your own time.
• Professional Development: Annual education allowance for courses, books, and conferences.
