About the role
In this role, you will design and build high-performance distributed systems responsible for executing CI/CD pipelines securely and reliably at scale. You will orchestrate ephemeral compute environments on AWS (EKS / ECS), implement resilient job scheduling across worker fleets, reduce pipeline execution times through smart caching, and instrument end-to-end observability across the build lifecycle.
What you'll do
- Design and improve the core orchestration engine managing the lifecycle of Supabase Branches (creating, merging, rebasing).
- Provision ephemeral sandboxed execution environments on EKS / ECS for running untrusted workloads with securely managed secrets.
- Implement scalable job scheduling handling thousands of concurrent builds.
- Optimize pipeline runtimes using caching, artifact storage, and dependency reuse.
- Manage retry, timeout, cancellation, and failure-propagation logic to ensure predictable pipeline behavior.
- Instrument pipeline lifecycles with observability tooling and develop IaC configurations (Terraform, Pulumi).
What you bring
- Strong software engineering skills with proficiency in Go and TypeScript required.
- 3+ years of experience building and operating cloud infrastructure or distributed systems at scale.
- Familiarity with AWS constructs, SDKs, and IaC tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.
- Production operations mindset with a proven track record of building reliable and observable systems.
- Experience working in asynchronous or globally distributed engineering teams.
