About Supabase
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.

About the Role
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 role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

What You’ll Be Responsible For
• 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

You Might Be a Good Fit If You
• Have 5+ years backend engineering experience of running Node.js in production

• Have experience with highly scalable, distributed systems

Are comfortable with working across the stack - backend application development, some infrastructure work including deploying, monitoring and scaling the service

Posses familiarity with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and performance tuning

Have experience with production-grade PostgreSQL usage, including tuning and troubleshooting

• Demonstrate an ownership mentality: driving projects end-to-end

• Display empathy towards developer experience

Nice-to-have
• Prior experience working on developer tools

Solid knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

Direct experience designing and operating large file upload/download pipelines at scale

• Deep, practical CDN integration and optimization knowledge

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
