Traveler-Friendly Insight

Supabase is a dream setup for location-independent professionals. The company is explicitly "born-remote" with no physical offices anywhere in the world, and they hire across 60+ countries. This is as genuinely global as remote work gets — no timezone restrictions are mentioned for this role, and their async-first culture means you're not tied to fixed hours or a specific continent's workday.

Nomad-friendly perks that stand out:

  • WeWork membership or co-working allowance usable anywhere globally — a rare, practical benefit for nomads who need reliable workspace on the road.
  • Tech allowance to build your ideal setup, whether that's a lightweight travel laptop or noise-canceling headphones for noisy cafés.
  • Annual company off-site in a new city — built-in travel with your colleagues covered by the company.
  • 100% health insurance for employees regardless of location, which removes a major pain point for internationally mobile workers.

Visa considerations: With no country restrictions stated, you have maximum flexibility. Senior leadership roles at this level typically pay $250K–$400K+, which makes popular nomad bases extremely affordable. In Lisbon (Portugal's D8 Digital Nomad Visa suits this income level), Bangkok (LTR Visa or METV), or Medellín (Colombia's digital nomad visa), your purchasing power stretches significantly. Note that as a leadership hire managing global teams, you'll likely need reliable, high-speed internet and some overlap with partner time zones.

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

We're looking for a Head of Ecosystem to lead the teams that make Supabase the backend for the platforms and tools developers already use. That covers AI app builders and coding agents, integrations with the developer tools teams rely on, and the Supabase Marketplace. You'll build this org from the ground up and shape how Supabase extends beyond its own platform.

You'll also drive hiring, onboarding, and career development while maintaining high engineering standards.

What you'll own:

  • Build and lead a new engineering org across platform partners, integrations, and Marketplace, hiring EMs and engineers as it grows
  • Own the technical relationship with the platforms building on Supabase, from integration health to escalations
  • Set and maintain clear roadmaps that balance partner needs with platform priorities
  • Partner with Product, Partnerships, and Sales to define and execute our ecosystem strategy
  • Ship a unified, self-serve surface for integrations and Marketplace
  • Maintain high engineering standards: roadmap hygiene, issue tracking, on-call, incident response, and responsiveness to partners

What you bring:

  • Proven experience leading multiple engineering teams, including managing other managers
  • Experience building and running platform, API, or integration surfaces that third parties depend on in production
  • Technical credibility with partner engineering teams, and the judgment to say no
  • Experience building teams or an org from a small base, including hiring and developing engineering managers
  • Strong organizational and execution skills: setting roadmaps, driving accountability, and keeping teams moving under uncertainty
  • Experience managing remote, globally distributed teams
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills, especially with Product and commercial teams
  • Collaborative, low-ego, and adaptable

Bonus points if you:

  • Have experience with OAuth, platform APIs, or app marketplaces
  • Have worked on a developer platform's partner or app ecosystem
  • Have worked with AI app builders or coding agents

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. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we're building together.
  • 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. Your wellbeing and your family's health are important to us.
  • Annual Off-Sites
    Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It's a highlight of our year.
  • Flexible Work
    We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.
  • Professional Development
    Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.

About the Team

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

  • ~400 team members
  • 60+ countries
  • 20+ languages spoken
  • Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)
  • 540,000+ community members

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.
