# Performance Engineer

**Company:** [Supabase](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/supabase)
**Location:** Remote
**Role:** Performance Marketing
**Experience:** 5+ years
**Skills:** benchmarking, profiling, load testing, performance engineering, Distributed Systems, Databases, storage, Networking, Cloud Infrastructure, regression analysis, triage tooling
**Posted:** 2026-07-28

> Build and own benchmarking, profiling, and load-testing systems at Supabase to detect regressions, ensure reproducibility, and drive performance improvements across database and cloud products. Requires deep experience owning benchmarking for complex distributed systems with strong systems intuition.

## Job Description

## What you’ll do
- Build and evolve benchmarking, profiling, and load-testing tooling (cloud, database, and end-to-end).
- Define benchmark suites and reference workloads that reflect real customer behavior (and evolve them as the products change).
- Establish performance baselines and regression gates across products (variance tracking, environment control, and detection of changes).
- Build mechanisms that turn benchmark results into action: triage workflows, owner routing, and clear, reproducible reports.
- Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) to identify bottlenecks and land concrete performance improvements.
- Enable the company to publish credible, repeatable performance numbers for customers and the market.
- Help teams self-serve performance testing and make performance a first-class engineering concern.

## Problems you might work on
- Build our continuous benchmarking infrastructure so product teams can spot performance regressions early. Ideally, teams can run benchmarks directly on PRs or locally while developing a feature.
- Analyze and eliminate issues with load generators, workloads or benchmark environments to ensure that benchmarks are reliable indicators for actual product performance.
- Build regression triage tooling that pinpoints what changed (diffing, profiles/traces, query-level attribution).
- Help product teams so they can analyze the root cause of performance regressions in benchmark environments themselves.

## What we’re looking for
- Deep experience in performance engineering, benchmarking, and profiling of complex distributed systems. Specifically, you have owned benchmarking systems where reproducibility and controlling variance mattered.
- Strong systems intuition (databases, storage, networking, cloud infrastructure).
- Comfortable working across product, infra, and database teams.
- Pragmatic, tooling-oriented mindset with strong communication skills.

## What We Offer
- Fully Remote: We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.
- ESOP: Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company.
- Tech Allowance: Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
- Health Benefits: Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are.
- Annual Off-Sites: Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun.
- Flexible Work: We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time.
- Professional Development: Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
