About the role

Lead the autonomous AI-native operating platform at Supabase, designing architecture, building first production components, and ensuring agent safety, observability, and measurable impact across teams.

Responsibilities

  • Own the agent platform architecture: The harness and orchestration layer and connectors into company systems, shared context and memory, and the path from prototype to production.
  • Catch regressions before they ship: Model, prompt, and tool changes can’t ship until they pass the evals. When a new model comes out, you know within hours whether to adopt it.
  • Make every agent observable: Every run and every decision is traced. For any agent at any time, you can answer what it did, why, what it cost, and how its quality is trending.
  • Own safety and trust: Design the controls that let agents act without a human in the loop: least-privilege credentials, hard policy limits, escalation thresholds, audit logs, sandboxing, and prompt-injection defenses.
  • Replace workflows, don’t assist them: Pick the workflows agents can fully own today and take them to production.
  • Turn wins into a platform: Package what works into reusable components, templates, and eval harnesses so other teams can ship their own production agents without starting from scratch.
  • Build and direct the team: Hire and grow senior ICs, review their designs and pull requests, and hold the quality bar.
  • Measure what matters: Track workflows automated, eval pass rates, cost per run, and work absorbed against the hiring plan.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on agent building: Have personally designed and built autonomous agent or LLM systems that ran in production and that others depended on.
  • Architecture depth: Explain how the pieces fit together (orchestration, tool and data access, context and memory, tracing, evals, guardrails, deployment).
  • Security judgment: Have shipped agents with real actions and designed safety controls.
  • A tested point of view: Can argue from own builds where autonomous systems create real business leverage.
  • Technical leadership: Have led senior builders and set the quality bar through design and code review.
