We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Pipelines team at Supabase. Supabase Pipelines is a managed change data capture product. It copies the tables you select from Supabase Postgres to other systems, then streams later changes. The product is in public alpha, with BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake destinations.\nPipelines uses Postgres logical replication and Supabase ETL, our open source replication engine written in Rust. The team works close to the database. That means replication slots, WAL retention, initial table syncs, and the load they place on a customer's source database. The team also builds and runs the destination connectors. Correctness, ordering and recovery matter there as much as speed.\nThe Engineering Manager is a people, delivery and technical role. We don't expect you to write production code. We do expect you to join design discussions and help set the bar for engineering quality, testing and operations.\nWhat You’ll Be Responsible For\nTeam & People\nBuild a healthy, high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment.\n\nRun 1:1s, performance management, career development, and onboarding for your direct reports.\n\nHandle people admin (leave, time off, etc.) for your team.\n\nHiring\nOwn the hiring plan for your team and act as Hiring Manager. First round of interviewer for all roles on the team.\n\nPartner with Talent Acquisition to source, interview, and close strong candidates.\n\nContribute to headcount planning, org design, and the evolution of engineering leadership at Supabase.\n\nDelivery & Roadmap\nOwn the team's roadmap and project management (Linear), driving accountability and clear milestones.\n\nManage workflow intake and Slack triage. These are the team’s primary inboxes for cross-team requests. You decide what gets routed where, prioritized, or pushed back on.\n\nOwn the team's weekly updates and keep stakeholders aligned without creating overhead.\n\nOrganize effort against support tickets and maintain the team's SLO.\n\nSurface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early and clearly to leadership.\n\nIncident Commander\nTrain as an Incident Commander. Drive coordination, resolution, and post-incident follow-up.\n\nLead blameless post-incident reviews\n\nYou Might Be a Good Fit If You\nHave 5+ years of engineering background, with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems.\n\nHave 3+ years managing remote engineering teams.\n\nHave managed a team that built and ran data pipelines, change data capture, replication or streaming systems.\n\nHave strong technical credibility in data systems. We look for delivery guarantees, ordering, idempotency, schema changes and backfills.\n\nKnow Postgres replication well, including logical replication, the WAL and replication slots, and how they affect a production database.\n\nKnow analytical destinations such as BigQuery, Snowflake, ClickHouse or lakehouse table formats like Iceberg.\n\nHave led a team through production incidents on a system that holds customer data. You ran the follow-up work and kept the review blameless.\n\nHave shipped a developer-facing data product to customers outside your company.\n\nHave experience with Rust (not required but a plus)\n\nHave managed remote, globally distributed teams that work asynchronously across disparate time zones.\n\nAre technical enough to be credible with strong engineers, but genuinely passionate about people management. This is the work you want to do, not a track you're settling for.\n\nBuild psychological safety and a feedback culture. You give feedback often and in the moment, ask for it back, and create space for the team to do the same.\n\nOperate as a multiplier. You help individuals achieve more than they could alone, and you don't need to be the best technical voice in the room.\n\nCoach rather than direct. You remove blockers, connect people to context, and trust your engineers to own how the work gets done.\n\nHave a real track record of performance management and can speak to specific examples of difficult conversations.\n\nAre comfortable with ambiguity and can build structure where there isn't much.\n\nCommunicate clearly and write well. You default to async and written, set context early, and surface risks early.\n\nAre collaborative, low-ego and adaptable. You thrive with high-autonomy senior engineers who don't need you to be the smartest person in the room.\n\nWhat We Offer\nFully Remote\nWe hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.\n\nESOP\nEvery team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.\n\nTech Allowance\nUse this budget to set up your ideal work environment-laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.\n\nHealth Benefits\nSupabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.\n\nAnnual Off-Sites\nOnce a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.\n\nFlexible Work\nWe operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.\n\nProfessional Development\nEvery team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning-courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.\n\nAbout the Team\nSupabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.\n~400 team members\n\n60+ countries\n\n20+ languages spoken\n\nOver $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)\n\n540,000+ community members\n\nWe move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support-not replace-existing tools and communities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6326,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Health insurance","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","Databases & DBMS","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T06:09:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":67,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","win:early","comp:remote"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-engineering-manager-pipelines","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-engineering-manager-pipelines.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T00:16:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":597,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":17114},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=17114"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsupabase-engineering-manager-pipelines"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsupabase-engineering-manager-pipelines"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsupabase-engineering-manager-pipelines"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/supabase-engineering-manager-pipelines\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsupabase-engineering-manager-pipelines"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4143558}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"supabase.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4143558},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
