Developer Relations Engineer

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, offering a complete backend in one place: database, auth, storage, edge functions, realtime and vector search, all deeply integrated. It was born remote and open-source-first, and considers its distributed team a competitive advantage rather than a compromise.

The role

Supabase is hiring a Developer Relations Engineer to help more developers find, learn and build with the platform. The work splits fairly evenly between writing code and teaching, so it suits someone who genuinely enjoys both rather than treating one as the price of the other.

The context makes the role meaningful: Supabase has 350,000+ developers and 1,000+ open source contributors. Its users range from weekend hackers and first-time contributors to engineers scaling systems to millions of users. DevRel is how the company reaches all of them.

The listing describes the goal as building "a community of communities," with this role acting as the bridge between Supabase and the wider developer ecosystem — helping people start, go deeper, and feel connected.

What you would do

• Publish compelling technical content, with particular emphasis on video, that helps developers learn Supabase quickly
• Build real-world demo apps and tutorials using Supabase alongside tools like Next.js, React and Stripe, and write guides others can follow and remix
• Represent Supabase publicly: speaking at meetups, livestreaming builds, and engaging across the ecosystem as a visible and trusted voice
• Support and grow the community by celebrating contributors, answering questions, highlighting interesting projects, and carrying developer feedback back to the team
• Work with engineering, product and growth to amplify launches, prioritise content, and reduce friction for new users

You might be a good fit if

• You have built full-stack apps and enjoy sharing what you know
• Your content makes people want to open their editor
• You are equally comfortable writing a video script and writing TypeScript
• Community energises you, whether on Discord, YouTube, Twitter or in person
• You are self-directed, organised, and genuinely interested in contributing to open source

Requirements

• Strong engineering skills, particularly JavaScript or TypeScript, Postgres, and a modern frontend framework such as React, Svelte or Vue
• Experience creating technical content, written or video
• Comfort representing a product publicly, on camera, on stage or online

Bonus points

• An existing audience on YouTube, Twitch or Twitter
• Prior DevRel or open source experience
• Having used and liked Supabase yourself

• 100% health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are based

Why this one is worth a look

Supabase is among the cleanest fits on this board for location-independent work. The company has no offices at all, so remote is not a policy layered onto an office culture — it is the only way the company has ever operated. The co-working allowance works anywhere in the world, and health cover follows you rather than your postcode.

For a DevRel role specifically, that matters more than usual: conference travel, meetups and community presence are easier to sustain from a base you actually chose.
