  • Improve performance, resilience, monitoring, and operational tooling for production use.
  • Debug and resolve complex issues in low-level C code, including in storage, replication, indexing, and query execution paths.
  • Participate in design discussions, architecture reviews, and code reviews — both inside Supabase and in the PostgreSQL community.
  • Write clear technical documentation, design notes, and upstream proposals.
  • Contribute to troubleshooting, analyzing, supporting and maintaining OrioleDB in production deployments, including on-call rotation and supporting live customer databases.

Qualifications
