Platform Engineer - Compute Capacity
Supabase
Remote · worldwideSalary not disclosedfull-timeVerified recentlyOver a month oldSupabase Careers
We are seeking a platform engineer to join our Compute Capacity team. This team owns the capacity plan that keeps compute supply ahead of demand across every region we operate in — the forecasting, buffer policy, and provisioning systems that make sure a project never runs into a wall it didn't know was there.
Responsibilities
- Support buffer policy by modeling headroom targets and their cost tradeoffs for review and sign-off
- Build and maintain automation that turns the capacity plan into provisioned reality — reservation acquisition and top-up, fleet reconciliation, drift detection between committed and running capacity
- Build and tune capacity alerting so headroom, quota, and reservation issues surface months out rather than at the moment of impact
- Support the demand gate — helping intake large customer commitments, launches, migrations, and new regions so they reach the plan before they reach the fleet
- Contribute to mitigation projects: right-sizing, instance-family migrations, autoscaling improvements, workload consolidation
- Communicate clearly across audiences, from engineers to finance stakeholders
