Supabase
Remote · worldwideSalary not disclosedfull-timeVerified recentlyOver a month oldSupabase Careers
You'd join a new performance team as one of its first members, working alongside a deeply seasoned performance engineer, with the team growing to roughly six this year. There's no legacy process to inherit — you'll help define how performance engineering works at Supabase.
Responsibilities
- Find bottlenecks in live production systems and characterize them precisely enough that the owning team can act on them without you in the room.
- Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) and infra teams to land concrete performance improvements.
- Build, communicate, and evolve performance methodologies and tooling that turn live production data into actionable insight.
- Partner with the observability team to capture the right signals and establish a unified view of platform performance (latency, throughput, tail behavior) across products.
- Help teams self-serve performance analysis and make performance a first-class engineering concern.
- Problems you might work on
- Tune the kernel's paging behavior to production workloads
- Reduce memory overhead in OrioleDB and Multigres
- Identify and eliminate sources of latency spikes from application to kernel level
- Identify scalability bottlenecks across the entire stack and work the appropriate teams in Supabase and the wider community to resolve them
