Platform Engineer: Edge & Networking
Full-time
Mid Level
Platform Engineer: Edge & Networking
📋
Description
- Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
- We are seeking a platform engineer to join our Edge & Networking squad. This team owns everything that happens at the network perimeter: API gateway, routing, load balancing, DNS, and secure global traffic distribution.
- You'll design, build, and operate systems that are both robust and highly automated — enabling us to scale reliably while maintaining low latency and high availability across our global infrastructure.
- You will work closely with other infrastructure and product teams to ensure seamless integration, observability, and performance of our edge services.
- What You’ll Be Responsible for:
- Help build and maintain the Supabase Cloud offering;
- Design and implement Supabase’s global edge router platform;
- Build programmable, API-driven routing logic to dynamically steer customer traffic;
- Work with DNS, WAF, IP networking, TLS termination, CDN integrations, and global load balancing;
- Implement advanced observability: relevant metric and log capturing, latency measurements, traffic shaping, routing health, and failure mitigation.
- Optimize routing performance to minimize latency and improve reliability across cloud regions.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to integrate networking solutions into the entire Supabase stack;
- Improve our system architecture to reduce costs while balancing security, reliability, and performance;
- Design CI/CD systems to speed up deployments with proper change and release management processes;
- Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews for edge-related issues;
- Resolve escalated support issues, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform.
- You might be a fit if you have:
- 5+ years experience in SRE/DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure;
- 4+ years experience building and operating high-scale networking or edge infrastructure;
- Strong experience with HTTP, TCP/IP, TLS certificate management, CDN internals, load balancing, and global routing;
- Proficiency with traffic proxies / routers (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy, Traefik, or building your own);
- Experience designing systems for high availability, failover, and real-time observability;
- Strong software engineering skills (Go);
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across distributed systems;
- Knowledge of IPv6, BGP, Anycast, or advanced routing protocols;
- Experience in managing large deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar;
- Comfortable with cloud networking primitives (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar);
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi preferred, Terraform/CDK etc also acceptable);
- Experience with being part of on-call rotations for large production systems.
- Benefits & Perks:
- 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.
- Flexible Work: We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.
- Professional Development: Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
