- Collaborate with the Deno and open-source communities, contributing upstream and relaying user needs.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to maintain healthy Edge Functions in production.
- Expand platform capabilities including scheduled functions, WebSockets streaming, background tasks, and AI inference.
- Improve local DX and debugging tools through the Supabase CLI with production parity.
What you bring
- At least 5 years of backend or systems engineering experience with strong fluency in Rust and TypeScript.
- Hands-on experience with V8 Isolates, Deno, and modern JavaScript runtimes.
