Responsibilities

  • Own the reliability of deployment and release systems and their control plane against SLOs and error budgets.
  • Standardize and instrument fragmented deployment workflows so pre-production provides trustworthy signals.
  • Drive disaster-recovery readiness and reproducible deployments from scratch.
  • Build and operate health and SLO monitoring for critical user flows using synthetic testing.
  • Reduce mean time to detect and recover from deployment-related incidents.
  • Participate in on-call, lead blameless postmortems, and convert findings into runbooks, alerting, and automation.
  • Improve deployment observability and auditability by recording what shipped, where, when, and by whom.
  • Document break-glass paths, access models, and operational runbooks.
  • Define and track SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and DORA delivery metrics with meaningful alerting.
  • Ensure deployments fail fast and safely when health checks degrade.
  • Harden access and break-glass workflows for safe incident response.
  • Partner with product engineering and platform teams to align release practices with reliability and availability targets.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in SRE, production operations, platform engineering, or release engineering.
  • Experience operating production systems at scale and participating in on-call rotations.
  • Fluency with SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, DORA metrics, operational KPIs, and observability tooling.
  • Experience leading incident response with incident.io, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or similar tools.
  • Production experience with AWS, including multiple accounts, IAM, and VPC.
  • Comfort with infrastructure-as-code using Pulumi or Terraform and with Kubernetes.
  • Ability to script and automate to eliminate operational toil.
  • Clear communication with infrastructure specialists and product engineers.
  • Ability to work effectively in asynchronous, globally distributed teams and navigate ambiguity.

Benefits

  • Fully remote with no Supabase offices and a WeWork membership or coworking allowance worldwide.
  • ESOP equity ownership for every team member.
  • Tech allowance for equipment such as a laptop, monitor, or headphones.
  • Health insurance covered at 100% for employees and 80% for dependents.
