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 a SDK Engineer - Python to join our SDK team and own how developers talk to Supabase from Python. You'll work closely with the rest of the SDK team, our Auth, Realtime, Storage, PostgREST, Functions, CLI and Docs teams, and the open-source community, helping us make the Python SDK a library Python developers genuinely enjoy using.\nPython developers reach Supabase from backend services, data pipelines, notebooks, and a growing number of AI agents and agent frameworks. The Python SDK is how all of them talk to the platform: database queries, auth, storage, realtime and edge functions, in both sync and async flavors.\nThis is a library-authoring role, and the work happens in the open: public repos, public issue trackers, and API decisions whose consequences last for years. If you get satisfaction from a type checker that catches the bug before your users do, from an async client that cleans up after itself, and from an issue tracker that isn't a graveyard, you'll like it here.\nThis role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.\nWhat You'll Be Responsible For\nBuild and evolve our Python SDK across database, auth, storage, realtime and functions, with both sync and async APIs that feel natural in Python.\n\nStart new things. Alongside the maintenance work, find what's missing, make the case for it, and build it. Nobody will hand you the list.\n\nWork in the open. Triage inbound issues, review and shepherd outside contributions, keep CI and release automation healthy, and hold a clear, kind line on scope.\n\nOwn the typing experience. Make the SDK fully typed and checker-friendly, so autocomplete and static analysis stay correct in real codebases.\n\nKeep us honest across environments. Multiple Python versions, sync and async frameworks, workers, serverless and notebooks - with dependency ranges that don't fight our users' projects. Test it, don't assume it.\n\nWork on realtime. Long-lived websocket connections, reconnection, and subscription and presence semantics.\n\nTrack the platform. When auth, realtime, storage, postgrest or edge functions ship a change, make sure the SDK reflects it, and that we say so in the changelog.\n\nDesign in public. Write the RFCs, migration guides, release notes and docs. Treat a breaking change as a deprecation path plus a migration story, not a version bump.\n\nMake our SDK legible to AI coding agents, which are now a major consumer of it.\n\nYou Might Be a Good Fit If You\nKnow modern Python typing deeply. You use generics, protocols, overloads and TypedDict as design tools, run strict type checking, and fix type errors without reaching for Any.\n\nHave authored or maintained a published library with a public API and users outside your own company. You know what it costs to change something people depend on.\n\nKnow the maintainer side of open source. Issue triage at volume, reviewing outside PRs, release automation, changelogs and semver, security reports, and saying no to a feature request without losing the person who asked.\n\nAre fluent in asyncio and have opinions on how a library should serve both sync and async callers.\n\nKnow Python packaging for libraries: pyproject.toml, wheels, modern tooling, version support policy, and why libraries shouldn't pin their dependencies tightly.\n\nTest as a habit: unit, type-level and end-to-end against a real stack. Every fix comes with a regression test.\n\nWrite well. Design docs, changelogs and issue replies are a large part of the output here, much of it public, and we're async by default.\n\nHave real autonomy: you find the important work, scope it, ship it, and say what you didn't do.\n\nCommunicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences\n\nHave experience in async or globally distributed teams\n\nAre energized by solving real-world problems for developers\n\nAre comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly\n\nBonus points if you: have run a major-version migration for a public package, know your way around JWT/OAuth, have built integrations for AI agent frameworks, or have generated idiomatic clients from a schema.\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":6102,"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":"2026-10-16T18:51:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:remote"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-sdk-engineer-python","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/supabase-sdk-engineer-python.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T08:04:39Z","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":10942,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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-sdk-engineer-python"},{"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-sdk-engineer-python"},{"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-sdk-engineer-python"},{"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-sdk-engineer-python\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsupabase-sdk-engineer-python"}]}
