Developer Relations Engineer

Job Description:

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We add auth, realtime, storage, restful APIs, and edge functions to Postgres so teams can move fast and build confidently.

We’re a born-remote, open source company with a global community and a big mission: make building scalable apps as easy as possible. Our distributed model is our secret weapon, letting us work with the best talent wherever they are.

We’re looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to help more developers discover, learn, and build with Supabase. You’ll create high-impact content, build real-world projects, and represent Supabase across communities and events. If you’re equally energized by writing code and teaching others, this is the role for you.

Why this role matters

Supabase is growing fast with 350,000+ developers, 1,000+ OSS contributors, and a thriving open source ecosystem. Our users are builders, startup founders, weekend hackers, and engineers scaling to millions of users. DevRel is how we meet them where they are: through content, community, and code.

We’re building a community of communities that brings together developers from many backgrounds, including first-time open source contributors. As a DevRel Engineer, you’ll be a bridge between Supabase and the broader developer ecosystem, helping people get started, go deep, and feel connected.

What you'll do

• Make content

  Publish compelling technical content, especially video, to help developers learn Supabase quickly

• Build demos and tutorials

  Ship real-world apps using Supabase and tools like Next.js, React, and Stripe. Write guides that others can follow and remix

• Represent Supabase

  Speak at meetups, livestream builds, and engage with the developer ecosystem. You’ll be a visible and trusted voice of the platform

• Support and grow the community

  Celebrate contributors, answer questions, highlight cool projects, and bring developer feedback to the team

• Collaborate across the company

  Work with engineering, product, and growth to amplify launches, prioritize content, and reduce friction for new users

You might be a fit if:

• You’ve built full-stack apps and enjoy sharing your knowledge

• You create content that makes people want to open their code editor

• You’re equally comfortable writing a video script and TypeScript

• You’re energized by community whether it’s on Discord, Twitter, YouTube, or in person

• You’re self-directed, organized, and excited to contribute to open source

Requirements

• This role is based in San Francisco to support regular in-person devrel video shoots, attend local events, and be an active presence in the SF tech ecosystem.

• Strong engineering skills, especially with JavaScript or TypeScript, Postgres, and modern frontend frameworks (React, Svelte, Vue, etc.)

• Experience creating technical content (written or video)

• Comfortable representing a product publicly (on camera, on stage, or online)

Bonus points if you have:

• A growing audience on YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter

• Prior experience in DevRel or open source

• Have used (and loved) Supabase

Why Supabase

• Remote-first. Work from anywhere. We do not adjust salaries based on location

• ESOP. Everyone at Supabase owns a piece of the company

• Health, dental, and vision benefits. We cover 100% for employees and 80% for dependents

• Tech and education budget. Upgrade your gear or learn something new

• Annual offsites. Meet teammates in person from our 35+ countries

About the team

• We're a startup. It's unstructured.

• Collectively founded more than 30 startups.

• Globally distributed team with more than 30 different nationalities.

• We deeply believe in the efficacy of collaborative open source. We support existing communities and tools, rather than building "yet another xx".

• We "dogfood" everything. If you use it in your project, we use it in Supabase.

Process

• The entire process is fully remote and all communication will happen over email or via video chat.

• Once you've submitted your application, the team will review your submission and may reach out for a short screening interview over a video call.

• If you pass the screen you will be invited to up to four follow-up interviews.

• The calls:

  • usually take between 20-45 minutes each depending on the interviewer.

  • most of the time, are all 1:1.

  • will be with the founders, a member of either the growth or engineering team (depending on the role) and usually one other person from your immediate team or function.

• Once the interviews are over, the team will meet to discuss several roles and candidates and may:

  • ask one or two follow-up questions over email or a quick call.

  • go directly to making an offer.
