About the role
As one of the earliest members of Supabase's new performance team, you will own the benchmarking and profiling systems used to detect regressions, diagnose performance changes, and publish credible benchmarks.

- Build regression triage workflows, diffing tools, and reproducible reporting mechanisms.
- Partner closely with database teams like Multigres and OrioleDB to identify bottlenecks and implement optimizations.
- Empower product teams to self-serve performance testing locally and directly within PRs.
What you bring
- Deep experience in performance engineering, benchmarking, and profiling of complex distributed systems.
- Proven experience owning benchmarking systems where reproducibility and variance control were critical.
