Supabase is an open-source database platform built by developers for developers. Supabase adds auth, realtime, storage, restful APIs, and edge functions to Postgres.
We are seeking Support Engineers to provide world-class developer support for anyone experiencing issues or seeking guidance when using Supabase. The support team is globally distributed with a strong focus on minimizing time to fix, and works closely with the product engineering and growth teams.
You will:
- Provide initial and timely responses to all support cases for a variety of topics, from billing or pre-sales requests to optimization or implementation questions.
- Triage support cases including directing users to previous answers, code examples, documentation, or escalating to specific technical or business team members.
- Monitor multiple feedback channels, e.g. Github Issues & Discussions (check them here: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues).
- Identify where internal tooling might be developed or obtained to improve support efficiency.
- Reproduce issues, create test cases and improve test coverage, if you have experience with testing.
You are:
- Experienced in customer support, with 3+ years of experience providing developer support to technical customers.
- Proficient in SQL (ideally PostgreSQL). You feel comfortable with complex SQL queries. If you have a database administration experience, it’s a plus.
- Excellent communication skills and fluency in English.
- Skilled in using Linux/Unix operating systems and the command line.

- 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.
