You'll be the technical anchor for the team that owns that experience: local development, the supabase CLI, IaC workflows, and the tooling that makes Supabase feel like a first-class part of any dev environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Set and drive the technical direction for Supabase CLI and local development tooling across Windows, Linux, and macOS - Lead architecture decisions: write RFCs, build consensus, and move proposals to outcomes - Be the go-to person for hard problems: cross-platform edge cases, release engineering, backwards compatibility, performance - Work closely with the team lead and engineering leadership on roadmap tradeoffs providing the technical signal that informs prioritization - Ship consistently: this isn't a staff role that reviews PRs; you're expected to be a significant individual contributor - Actively develop the technical capabilities of the team through structured code review, pairing, design feedback, and setting a high bar others can grow toward - Serve as a technical mentor and reference point for engineers across the team, helping them n
