H1B: yes
Supabase Engineering Manager to lead the Pipelines team at Supabase, focusing on managed change data capture and replication systems. Responsible for team leadership, roadmap ownership, and incident command in a remote-first environment.
Responsibilities
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Pipelines team at Supabase. Supabase Pipelines is a managed change data capture product. It copies the tables you select from Supabase Postgres to other systems, then streams later changes. The product is in public alpha, with BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake destinations.
Pipelines uses Postgres logical replication and Supabase ETL, our open source replication engine written in Rust. The team works close to the database. That means replication slots, WAL retention, initial table syncs, and the load they place on a customer's source database. The team also builds and runs the destination connectors. Correctness, ordering and recovery matter there as much as speed.
The Engineering Manager is a people, delivery and technical role. We don't expect you to write production code. We do expect you to join design discussions and help set the bar for engineering quality, testing and operations.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Build a healthy, high-trust team culture in a remote-first, globally distributed environment.
Run 1:1s, performance management, career development, and onboarding for your direct reports.
Handle people admin (leave, time off, etc.) for your team.
Own the hiring plan for your team and act as Hiring Manager. First round of interviewer for all roles on the team.
Partner with Talent Acquisition to source, interview, and close strong candidates.
Contribute to headcount planning, org design, and the evolution of engineering leadership at Supabase.
Delivery & Roadmap
Own the team's roadmap and project management (Linear), driving accountability and clear milestones.
