We are looking for an AI Tooling Engineer with strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript to help build and maintain high-quality AI tools and integrations with Supabase.

As part of our engineering team, you'll play a key role in shaping developer experiences in the AI era. You'll work with multiple teams to bring their AI initiatives to life, and collaborate with AI partners to build robust integrations. If you're dedicated to advancing the AI ecosystem and love building developer-friendly tools, we'd love to hear from you!

• Develop and maintain Supabase's AI tools like our MCP server.

• Develop and maintain Supabase's AI assistant in the dashboard.

• Centralize AI logic across our products and services.

• Design and implement evaluation frameworks (evals) to measure AI performance, accuracy, and reliability.

• Create/update AI & vector guides.

• Create content/integrations with partners.

• Ensure all libraries and tools are fully battle-tested, with comprehensive test coverage, benchmarking, and stress testing.

• Write clear, high-quality documentation and guides.

• Work closely with open-source communities, gather feedback, and iterate on improvements.

• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem to ensure compatibility and best practices.

• Strong experience in JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Up-to-date knowledge of AI trends and best practices.

• Familiarity with Postgres and database best practices.

• Experience with vector databases and embeddings (preferably with pgvector or similar Postgres extensions).

• Experience with the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, including npm, ES modules, bundlers, and browser compatibility concerns.

• Strong focus on writing tests with frameworks like Vitest or similar, ensuring high test coverage.

• Familiarity with networking concepts (e.g., HTTP, WebSockets, authentication mechanisms).

• Experience working with open-source projects or maintaining developer tools.

• Strong communication skills and a passion for building developer-friendly tools and experiences.

• 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.

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

• 120+ team members

• 35+ countries

• 15+ languages spoken

• $396M raised

• 350,000+ community members

• 20,000+ memes posted (and counting)

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.

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

1. Apply – Our team will review your application.

2. Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.

3. Interviews – Up to four calls with:

   • Founders

   • Future teammates

   • Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)

4. Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.

All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
