About the role

  • Release Engineer at Supabase, ensuring safe and observable deployments and operational reliability across systems. Engage in incident management, monitoring, and process documentation for improved deployment efficiency.

Responsibilities

  • 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
  • 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
  • Harden access and break-glass workflows (e.g. scoped self-service) so the right people can act in an incident without unsafe workarounds
  • Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets

Requirements

  • Have 5+ years in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering
  • Have operated production systems at scale and carried on-call for them
  • Are fluent in SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, and operational KPIs — and the observability tooling behind them (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, or similar)
  • Have led incident response with tooling like incident.io (or PagerDuty / Opsgenie), run blameless postmortems, and driven down MTTD/MTTR
  • Operate confidently on AWS (multiple accounts, IAM, VPC) in production
  • Are comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform) and Kubernetes
  • Script and automate to eliminate toil rather than absorb it
  • Communicate clearly with both infrastructure specialists and product engineers
  • Thrive in async, globally distributed teams
  • Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating toward better systems over time.
