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 this role\nWe’re hiring experienced performance engineers to make performance measurement at Supabase rigorous, repeatable, and actionable by product teams. This role owns the benchmarking and profiling systems we use to detect regressions, explain performance changes, and publish credible numbers for customers and the market. You’ll build the tooling and the methodology and make it easy for product teams to use it correctly.\nYou’d join a new performance team as one of its first members, working alongside a deeply seasoned performance engineer, with the team growing to roughly six this year. There’s no legacy process to inherit - you’ll help define how we measure and communicate performance metrics at Supabase.\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild and evolve benchmarking, profiling, and load-testing tooling (cloud, database, and end-to-end).\n\nDefine benchmark suites and reference workloads that reflect real customer behavior (and evolve them as the products change).\n\nEstablish performance baselines and regression gates across products (variance tracking, environment control, and detection of changes).\n\nBuild mechanisms that turn benchmark results into action: triage workflows, owner routing, and clear, reproducible reports.\n\nPartner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) to identify bottlenecks and land concrete performance improvements.\n\nEnable the company to publish credible, repeatable performance numbers for customers and the market.\n\nHelp teams self-serve performance testing and make performance a first-class engineering concern.\n\nProblems you might work on\nBuild our continuous benchmarking infrastructure so product teams can spot performance regressions early. Ideally, teams can run benchmarks directly on PRs or locally while developing a feature.\n\nAnalyze and eliminate issues with load generators, workloads or benchmark environments to ensure that benchmarks are reliable indicators for actual product performance.\n\nBuild regression triage tooling that pinpoints what changed (diffing, profiles/traces, query-level attribution).\n\nHelp product teams so they can analyze the root cause of performance regressions in benchmark environments themselves.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nDeep experience in performance engineering, benchmarking, and profiling of complex distributed systems. Specifically, you have owned benchmarking systems where reproducibility and controlling variance mattered.\n\nStrong systems intuition (databases, storage, networking, cloud infrastructure).\n\nComfortable working across product, infra, and database teams.\n\nPragmatic, tooling-oriented mindset with strong communication skills.\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":4566,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":"2026-07-28T09:49:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.379,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":83,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-performance-engineer-benchmarking","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-performance-engineer-benchmarking.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T07:56:48Z","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":8395,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"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-performance-engineer-benchmarking"},{"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-performance-engineer-benchmarking"},{"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-performance-engineer-benchmarking"},{"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-performance-engineer-benchmarking\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsupabase-performance-engineer-benchmarking"}]}
