The opportunity
We're looking for a Release Engineer (SRE) to join our Release Engineering team (part of EngOps) — a production-operations expert who brings an SRE mindset to how Supabase ships and runs, making deploys safe, observable, and recoverable at scale.
What you'll do
Own the reliability of Supabase's deployment and release systems, and the: control plane they run on, against clear SLOs and error budgets
Turn pre-production into a trustworthy signal: standardizing and instrumenting today's fragmented, ad-hoc deployment workflows
Drive disaster-recovery readiness, including making environments reproducibly: deployable from scratch (untangling undocumented secrets, unclear configuration ownership, and circular service dependencies)
Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows, using: synthetic testing to catch regressions before customers do
Reduce mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover for deploy-related: incidents — which account for a large share of our incident load
Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and turn findings into: runbooks, alerting, and automation that remove toil
What they're looking for
- Improve deployment observability and auditability: a clear record of what shipped where, when, and by whom
- Document operational procedures: break-glass paths, access models, and runbooks — so reliability knowledge isn't tribal
- Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics: with meaningful alerting over noise
- Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade
