Supabase Storage is a scalable and high performance object storage service and is one of our fastest growing services. The current landscape of tools for uploading, storing, processing and delivering assets is complicated. Developers are forced to think about regions, caching, codecs and security before they can start uploading anything.
We are looking for engineers to solve this problem once and for all!
You will be working across the entire stack - client libraries, CLI, CDN, the storage server and the deployment infrastructure. One day, you might focus on improving upload resilience in iOS applications; the next, you could be optimizing the S3 protocol for efficient retries or finding ways to accelerate upload processing.
You will be contributing to both our open source server and upstream dependencies we use, like the TUS server.
This is a fully remote position within the APAC region.
Improving our analytics bucket offering and improving the storage of open file formats like iceberg and ducklake
Asset optimization to speed up delivery for websites and mobile applications
Building out our edge network to speed up uploads and build features like automatic cache invalidation
Improve the performance, observability, and reliability of our storage server
Work with the frontend team to build a fast, powerful storage explorer
Improve our APIs, client libraries and CLI to provide an exceptional end-to-end DX for our users
Resolve escalated support issues, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform
≥5 years backend engineering experience with significant TypeScript and Node.js production work (prior experience working on developer tools is a plus)
Solid knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
Familiarity with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and performance tuning
Direct experience designing and operating large file upload/download pipelines at scale
Deep, practical CDN integration and optimization knowledge
Production-grade PostgreSQL usage, including tuning and troubleshooting
Track record of debugging incidents across distributed systems
Comfortable with working across the stack - backend application development, some infrastructure work including deploying, monitoring and scaling the service
Experience with image and video processing tools (sharp, dssim, ffmpeg), formats and codecs (AVIF, WebM, Brotli) is a plus
Experience with the frontend ecosystem (Next.js, React, etc) is a plus
Ownership mentality: driving projects end-to-end
Empathy towards developer experience
