Supalite Engineer
ABOUT SUPABASE
Supabase 是基于 Postgres 的开发平台，由开发者为开发者打造。我们提供完整的后端解决方案，包括数据库、认证、存储、边缘函数、实时功能和向量搜索。所有服务深度集成，专为增长而设计。
ABOUT THE ROLE
我们正在寻找工程师加入团队，共同构建 Supabase Lite https://www.npmjs.com/package/@supabase/lite，这是一个轻量级、原生 TypeScript 实现的 Supabase。它可以在 SQLite 和 Postgres 之间切换，并提供与 PostgREST 和 Auth 兼容的 API，因此针对 @supabase/supabase-js 编写的应用程序可以原样运行。它存在的原因是 AI 开发者和平台合作伙伴需要一个可以提供给每个原型的数据库，无需成本或等待：亚秒级配置，足够小的体积可以在沙盒中运行，并且在应用进入生产阶段时有升级到完整 Supabase 的路径。
这个职位拥有很大的自主权。在一个小型团队中，产品已经存在，模式尚待确立——你将从第一天起就负责整个领域的端到端工作并做出真正的决策。
WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
在这个职位中，你将：
- 扩展与 Supabase 客户端的 API 兼容性，保持行为与托管版 Supabase 一致，并通过一致性测试进行验证
- 将更多 Supabase 堆栈带到 SQLite
- 构建并强化从 Supabase Lite 升级到完整 Supabase 的路径
- 端到端负责开发者体验：CLI、本地工具和文档
- 构建并强化按需扩展、几乎零成本的托管方案，保持松耦合以便实现可以更换而无需重写
- 直接与设计合作伙伴合作，将真实世界的迁移和集成痛点转化为更完善的产品
- 参与开源社区，并为更广泛的 Supabase 堆栈做出贡献。
YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU
- 有丰富的后端或全栈经验，对 TypeScript 有很强的掌握，并且之前构建或贡献过后端系统、框架或开发者平台
- 是一名强大的通用型开发者，能够自如地在堆栈中移动，从 API 设计到存储内部结构再到基础设施，并根据问题需求学习任何东西
- 能够顺畅阅读陌生代码。很多工作涉及研究其他语言中的参考实现，例如 Go 中的 GoTrue 和 Haskell 中的 PostgREST，并在 TypeScript 中匹配它们的行为
- 对 SQL 和关系数据库有扎实的基础

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
We're looking for engineers to join the team building Supabase Lite https://www.npmjs.com/package/@supabase/lite, a lightweight, TypeScript-native implementation of Supabase. It runs interchangeably on SQLite and Postgres and ships a PostgREST and Auth compatible API, so applications written against @supabase/supabase-js work as-is. It exists because AI builders and platform partners need a database they can give to every prototype without the cost or the wait: sub-second provisioning, a footprint small enough to run inside a sandbox, and an upgrade path to full Supabase when an app graduates to production.
This is a role with a lot of agency. Small team, working product, patterns still to be set - you'll own large areas end to end and make real decisions from day one.
WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
In this role, you'll:
- Grow API compatibility with the Supabase client, keeping behavior faithful to hosted Supabase and backed by conformance tests
- Bring more of the Supabase stack to SQLite
- Build and harden the path for upgrading a project from Supabase Lite to full Supabase
- Own the developer experience end to end: the CLI, local tooling, and docs
- Build and harden the hosted offering on a scale-to-zero, near-zero-cost footing, kept loosely coupled so the implementation can be swapped without a rewrite
- Work directly with design partners and turn real-world migration and integration friction into a sharper product
- Engage with the open-source community and contribute back to the broader Supabase stack.
YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU
- Have substantial backend or full-stack experience with strong fluency in TypeScript, and have built or contributed to a backend system, framework, or developer platform before
- Are a strong generalist, comfortable moving across the stack from API design to storage internals to infrastructure, and picking up whatever the problem needs
- Read unfamiliar code without friction. A lot of the work means studying reference implementations in other languages, such as GoTrue in Go and PostgREST in Haskell, and matching their behavior in TypeScript
- Have a solid grounding in SQL and relational databases, and the curiosity to dig into where Postgres and SQLite differ
- Have a bias toward compatibility and correctness, and reach for tests and specs to prove behavior
- Think around corners. When everyone reaches for the standard playbook, you look for the simpler path that fits a smaller box — breaking a complex system down to the 20% that covers 80% of the need, then making it run somewhere far smaller than it was designed for
- Care about developer experience: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thing
- Are comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage work and making sound calls that inform and define the spec. This is a founding role on a brand-new team
- Are comfortable working in public repositories on a remote, async team
- Communicate clearly in writing
- Bonus: experience with the Supabase stack, building developer CLIs, or a track record of open-source maintenance.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Fully Remote
We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.
- ESOP
Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.
- Tech Allowance
Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
- Health Benefits
Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.
- Annual Off-Sites

We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.
- Professional Development
Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.
