About the Role

We’re looking for a Data API Engineer to join our Data API Team and help improve the feature set, reliability and performance of our Data API, based on the PostgREST project.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Work on PostgREST’s PostgreSQL driver (based on Hasql) and remove bottlenecks and improve it’s performance.
  • Work on PostgREST development of new features and bug fixes, aligned towards the goal of a multitenant Data API.
  • Resolve incidents and escalated support issues, while also improving observability and performance.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to debug and solve integration issues with the Supabase platform.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

  • Strong Haskell skills with at least 3 years of experience.
  • Experience using the C language.
  • Solid knowledge of SQL and plpgsql scripting in PostgreSQL.
  • Strong track record of contributing to and engaging with open-source projects. Bonus points if you’ve maintained an open source project.
  • Strong experience with providing technical support to users with varying levels of technical expertise.
  • Experience with debugging applications under the Linux operating system.

We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
