About the role
As the Engineering Manager for Pipelines, you will lead a team building Supabase's managed change data capture product, which leverages Postgres logical replication and Supabase ETL (an open-source Rust replication engine) to stream database changes to analytical destinations like BigQuery, ClickHouse, and Snowflake. This is a people, delivery, and technical role where you will support engineer growth, run hiring, manage the delivery roadmap, guide technical design, and serve as an incident commander without writing daily production code.
What you'll do
- Cultivate a high-trust, psychological safety culture, conducting regular 1:1s, performance management, and onboarding in a remote-first setup.
- Own team hiring, acting as hiring manager, setting org design, and partnering with Talent Acquisition.
- Manage project execution, roadmap intake, Linear project management, and Slack triage while surfacing risks and dependencies early.
- Train and operate as an Incident Commander, coordinating resolutions and driving blameless post-mortems.
- Maintain team SLOs against customer support tickets and drive engineering quality across data pipeline infrastructure.
What you bring
- 5+ years of engineering experience and 3+ years managing remote, globally distributed engineering teams.
- Track record managing teams building data pipelines, change data capture, streaming, or replication systems.
- Deep technical familiarity with Postgres logical replication, WAL, replication slots, and destinations like BigQuery or Snowflake.
- Demonstrated experience leading production incident response and running blameless post-incident reviews for customer-facing systems.
- Excellent written and asynchronous communication skills with a strong coaching mindset.
