平台工程师 - 计算资源
Platform Engineer - Compute Capacity
关于 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。
关于该职位
我们正在寻找一名平台工程师加入我们的计算资源团队。该团队负责制定计算资源计划，确保我们在每个运营区域的计算供应始终领先于需求——包括预测、缓冲策略和资源配置系统，确保项目永远不会遇到未知的瓶颈。
你将参与将资源计划转化为实际配置的系统：预留获取、集群对账，以及保持我们承诺的与实际运行状态同步的自动化。你将帮助构建指标和告警系统，使资源问题能在供应商交货时间前数月被发现，而不是在有人需要资源时才被发现。
你将设计、构建和运维既稳健又高度自动化的系统——帮助我们在正确成本下保持正确的缓冲，提前发现偏差以避免短缺，并为每个团队提供一个单一、可信的视图，了解我们管理的数百万数据库中有多少资源可用。
你将负责以下工作
- 帮助构建和维护资源计划，确保 Supabase 的计算供应在各个区域和实例类型中始终领先于需求
- 通过建模剩余容量目标及其成本权衡，支持缓冲策略的制定并提交审批
- 构建和维护将资源计划转化为实际配置的自动化系统——预留获取和补足、集群对账、已承诺与实际运行资源之间的偏差检测
- 扩展我们的基础设施即代码，用于与资源相关的配置
- 实现资源监控：构建和维护饱和度、预留覆盖率、空闲缓冲、预测误差和配置延迟的指标
- 构建和优化资源告警，使剩余容量、配额和预留问题能在影响发生前数月被发现
- 支持需求门禁——协助处理大客户承诺、上线、迁移和新区域的接入，确保它们在进入集群前已纳入计划
- 参与缓解项目：资源优化、实例类型迁移、自动扩展改进、工作负载整合
- 通过资源优化、部署策略和集中化，帮助降低每个数据库的计算成本

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 are seeking a platform engineer to join our Compute Capacity team. This team owns the capacity plan that keeps compute supply ahead of demand across every region we operate in — the forecasting, buffer policy, and provisioning systems that make sure a project never runs into a wall it didn't know was there.
You'll work on the systems that turn a capacity plan into provisioned reality: reservation acquisition, fleet reconciliation, and the automation that keeps what we've committed to in sync with what we're actually running. You'll help build the metrics and alerting that let capacity problems surface months out, on vendor lead time, rather than at the moment someone needs the room.
You'll design, build, and operate systems that are both robust and highly automated — helping us hold the right buffer at the right cost, catch drift before it becomes a shortage, and give every team a single, trustworthy view of how much room we have across the millions of databases we manage.
WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
- Help build and maintain the capacity plan that keeps Supabase's compute supply ahead of demand across regions and instance families
- Support buffer policy by modeling headroom targets and their cost tradeoffs for review and sign-off
- Build and maintain automation that turns the capacity plan into provisioned reality — reservation acquisition and top-up, fleet reconciliation, drift detection between committed and running capacity
- Extend our infrastructure as code for capacity-relevant provisioning
- Instrument capacity: build and maintain metrics for saturation, reservation coverage, idle buffer, forecast error, and provisioning latency
- Build and tune capacity alerting so headroom, quota, and reservation issues surface months out rather than at the moment of impact
- Support the demand gate — helping intake large customer commitments, launches, migrations, and new regions so they reach the plan before they reach the fleet
- Contribute to mitigation projects: right-sizing, instance-family migrations, autoscaling improvements, workload consolidation
- Help drive down compute cost per database through right-sizing, placement, and commitment coverage work
- Participate in capacity incident response and post-incident follow-through
YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU
- Have 5+ years across infrastructure engineering, SRE, platform, or capacity engineering, ideally at SaaS or cloud infrastructure scale
- Have production software engineering experience — you've owned and operated a service, not just a notebook. Comfortable in modern languages like TypeScript, Python, and Go
- Are comfortable working against forecasts and assumptions that are incomplete, and can revise your work as those assumptions change
- Have experience with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi or Terraform)
- Have built or maintained observability for systems you own — metrics that answer real questions and alerting people trust (Prometheus/Grafana, CloudWatch, or similar);
- Have solid working knowledge of AWS EC2: instance families and generations, purchase options, capacity reservations, and quota mechanics
- Have some financial fluency — you understand reservation economics and the basic tradeoffs between coverage, utilization, and cost
- Communicate clearly across audiences, from engineers to finance stakeholders
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
Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.
- Flexible Work
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.
- ~400 team members
- 60+ countries
- 20+ languages spoken
- Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)
- 540,000+ community members
We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
