We are seeking a platform engineer to join our Edge & Networking squad. This team owns everything that happens at the network perimeter: API gateway, routing, load balancing, DNS, and secure global traffic distribution.
You'll design, build, and operate systems that are both robust and highly automated — enabling us to to scale reliably while maintaining low latency and high availability across our global infrastructure.
You will work closely with other infrastructure and product teams to ensure seamless integration, observability, and performance of our edge services.
WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

- Design and implement Supabase’s global edge router platform;
- Build programmable, API-driven routing logic to dynamically steer customer traffic;
- Work with DNS, WAF, IP networking, TLS termination, CDN integrations, and global load balancing;
- Implement advanced observability: relevant metric and log capturing, latency measurements, traffic shaping, routing health, and failure mitigation.
- Optimize routing performance to minimize latency and improve reliability across cloud regions.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to integrate networking solutions into the entire Supabase stack;
- Improve our system architecture to reduce costs while balancing security, reliability, and performance;
- Design CI/CD systems to speed up deployments with proper change and release management processes;
- Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews for edge-related issues;
- Resolve escalated support issues, while also identifying and resolving systemic issues across the platform.
YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF YOU HAVE:
- 5+ years experience in SRE/DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure;
- 4+ years experience building and operating high-scale networking or edge infrastructure;
- Strong experience with HTTP, TCP/IP, TLS certificate management, CDN internals, load balancing, and global routing;
- Proficiency with traffic proxies / routers (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy, Traefik, or building your own);
- Experience designing systems for high availability, failover, and real-time observability;
- Strong software engineering skills (Go);
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across distributed systems;
- Knowledge of IPv6, BGP, Anycast, or advanced routing protocols;
- Experience in managing large deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar;
- Comfortable with cloud networking primitives (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar);
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Pulumi preferred, Terraform/CDK etc also acceptable);
