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 Engineering Managers to lead engineering effort on Supabase Spark. Supabase Spark is an initiative to build the next frontier of agentic databases, supporting billions of databases, with millions of databases created every day.\nAlthough we don’t require managers to contribute to code directly, we do expect you to participate in design discussions and to be involved in setting the bar for engineering quality and best practices.\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 engineering teams at a cloud, SaaS, or developer tools company.\n\nExperience with developer tools or databases, plus if that includes both SQLite and Postgres ecosystems.\n\nStrong technical credibility in backend and database systems: APIs, auth, and Postgres access control (roles, grants, RLS) etc.\n\nHas led a team shipping a developer facing API or platform product from early stage to production.\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. Focused on helping individuals achieve more than they could alone, not on being the best technical voice in the room.\n\nCoach rather than direct. Remove blockers, connect people to context and resources, 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 and how you navigated them.\n\nAre comfortable with ambiguity and capable of building structure where there isn't much.\n\nCommunicate clearly and write well. You're default async, default written, set context proactively, and surface risks early.\n\nAre collaborative, low-ego, and adaptable. You thrive working with high-autonomy, senior ICs who have strong technical opinions and don't need to be the smartest person in the room.\n\nAre comfortable with aggressive scoping and eval driven development.\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":5611,"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":"2026-10-21T18:32:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:remote"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-engineering-manager-spark","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-engineering-manager-spark.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T01:54:29Z","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":1019,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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-spark"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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-spark"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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-spark"},{"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-spark\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsupabase-engineering-manager-spark"}]}
