About the role

Performance engineer role focused on identifying and delivering measurable performance improvements across the Supabase stack, from query optimiser to kernel and network paths, and shaping performance engineering processes and tooling.

Responsibilities

  • Find bottlenecks in live production systems and characterize them precisely enough for owning teams to act on 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 across products.
  • Help teams self-serve performance analysis and make performance a first-class engineering concern.

Qualifications

  • Deep experience in performance engineering, specifically performance analysis of complex distributed systems.
  • Ability to walk the whole stack from query optimizer to IO scheduler and across network paths and availability zones.
  • Depth on Linux kernel internals OR database internals.
  • Strong working knowledge of networking and cloud infrastructure performance (TCP, AWS primitives, EBS, cross-AZ latency).
  • Proven ability to translate insights into product/architecture improvements and drive cross-team prioritization and shipping.
