Software Engineer: IaC Platform Experience

ABOUT SUPABASE

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.

ABOUT THE ROLE

• We are looking for a Software Engineer: IaC Platform Experience to join our Interfaces team and own the Terraform provider as a core part of Supabase's developer platform.
• This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the Go codebase behind the Supabase Terraform provider. You will partner with product and engineering leadership on roadmap priorities, drive technical execution, and ensure we ship a reliable, predictable, and well-documented Terraform experience for developers at scale.
• You will focus on resource behavior, lifecycle correctness, schema evolution, upgrade safety, and practical migration paths for existing users.
• This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and enjoys building practical platform primitives that millions of developers can rely on.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• - Own the Go Terraform provider codebase, including architecture, implementation quality, test strategy, and release readiness.
• - Improve Terraform provider reliability and ergonomics, including resource behavior, data sources, lifecycle edge cases, and upgrade safety.
• - Drive technical strategy for IaC workflows through design docs, RFCs, and iterative delivery.
• - Build practical migration and interoperability paths for existing Terraform users.
• - Partner with product and engineering leadership in a shared roadmap model to define priorities, scope, and outcomes.
• - Monitor customer feedback, OSS issues, and usage signals to continuously improve the Terraform experience.
• - Create clear documentation and examples that make IaC workflows easier to understand and adopt.

WHAT YOU BRING

• - 5+ years of software engineering experience in developer platforms, infrastructure tooling, or distributed systems.
• - Strong proficiency in Go and a track record of shipping production-grade developer tooling.
• - Deep experience with Terraform provider behavior, declarative resource models, and lifecycle edge cases.
• - Strong understanding of schema design, versioning, and backwards compatibility.
• - Experience owning or contributing to a provider codebase with real user adoption and upgrade constraints.
• - Experience with testing strategy for providers and IaC tooling (unit, integration, and end-to-end) plus CI/CD pipelines.
• - Familiarity with release/versioning strategies and backwards compatibility in widely used developer tooling.
• - Strong written communication and a track record of clear technical design docs and RFCs.
• - Nice to have: familiarity with TypeScript-based tooling, Supabase CLI workflows, and GitHub-centric automation.

DECISION-MAKING AND COLLABORATION

- This role operates in a shared consensus model for major technical decisions with peers and leadership.

- You are expected to lead proposals and recommendations, align stakeholders, and move decisions to clear outcomes.
