Product Manager - Postgres

About the role

Supabase runs Postgres for 7,000,000+ developers, from startups shipping their first AI app to enterprises migrating off legacy databases. Postgres is the foundation Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, and Realtime run on. Every other surface depends on what you own.

Our biggest bet is Multigres: a new multi-tenant Postgres architecture that changes how we run databases at scale. You own the full Postgres surface: Multigres, OrioleDB, Postgres itself (observability, extensions, security), the connection pooler, and the Data API.

What you'll be responsible for:

• Talk to developers across the full spectrum. Startups shipping their first AI app, enterprises migrating off managed databases, engineers debugging connection pool exhaustion at 3am. Find the real blockers and bring them into every prioritisation and scoping call.

• Lead Multigres to production adoption. Define what success looks like for customers: the migration path, the rollout story, and the metrics that confirm it's working. Multigres is Supabase's biggest infrastructure bet; you own whether it lands.

• Own the problem definition, requirements, and success metrics for every capability we ship. Surface feasibility, migration complexity, and rollout risk before engineering commits. Set the metric before the team starts building, then track it after launch.

• Prioritise across competing surfaces. Every quarter you're choosing between platform reliability investments, developer-experience improvements, and enterprise requirements across five engineering teams. Make the call and defend it.

• Keep engineering, design, and leadership aligned on the roadmap. Postgres sits under Auth, Storage, Realtime, and every other Supabase product. Communicate what's coming, why, and in what order, to five engineering teams and the rest of the company.

You might be a good fit if you:

• 7+ years of product management experience on developer tools, or an ex-founder with strong product instincts. You're technical enough to read an architecture doc, follow a design discussion, and ask the right questions.

• You've shipped products where the database behaviour is the experience. You know how connection limits, query planning, and extension behaviour translate to customer pain. Familiarity with the Postgres ecosystem (extensions, tooling, community) is a bonus.

• You're biased toward speed. You'd rather ship something imperfect and learn than spend another sprint refining a spec. You know when to stop planning and start building.

• You build with what you own. You use the products on your roadmap: running queries, testing the connection pooler, prototyping against the Data API. You develop opinions through first-hand use.

• You use AI to move faster. You use AI tools to compress the slow parts of the job (research, drafting, synthesising feedback) so you spend more time on judgment calls.

• You work async by default. Supabase is fully remote. You make decisions in writing and move work forward without meetings.
