Design Engineer

Supabase is an Open Source and fully remote company building developer tools for databases.

As a Design Engineer at Supabase, you’ll be a key member of our design team, crafting innovative and user-focused solutions for our open-source database platform. You’ll collaborate closely with Product Owners, Engineers, and other designers to take ideas from concept to completion, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience across all Supabase products.

Your work will directly impact the developer community, making databases more accessible, powerful, and easy to use. You’ll push boundaries and set new standards in how developers build applications, driving both visual and functional improvements across the Supabase ecosystem.

You’ll have opportunities to lead, propose, and execute projects across various products and tools. Whether refining designs, optimizing workflows, enhancing developer tools, or launching new features, your contributions will shape our platform’s future.

We Need:

  • Design & Technical Expertise: Proficiency in tools like Figma (or Sketch/Adobe XD) and strong knowledge of recent front-end trends (React and Next.js).

  • Problem-Solver: Creative thinking to address complex design challenges.

  • “Demo Over Essay”: Ability to align teams with working prototypes, user flows, or high-fidelity mockups, choosing the most effective communication method.

  • Collaboration and Communication: Excellent communication skills and experience working in a cross-functional team environment, collaborating with Product Owners, Success Engineers, Sales, Product Engineers, Product manager, Marketing, and other stakeholders.

  • System Design Experience: Ability to build scalable design systems, contribute code, and maintain design libraries.

  • Developer Mindset: Understanding the developer experience, anticipating potential pitfalls, and improving usability.

  • Open Source Engagement: Passion for contributing to and interacting with open-source communities.

  • Attention to Detail: High standards for design quality and user experience.

What We Don’t Need:

  • Lone Wolves: If you prefer to work independently without regular collaboration, this role isn’t for you.

  • Open Source Apathy: Lack of interest in open-source development or community engagement is a dealbreaker.

  • Shallow Technical Knowledge: A deep understanding of modern front-end development and tools is essential.

  • “Redo Everything” Approach: Focus on incremental improvements rather than overhauling everything at once.

  • Feature Factory Mindset: We prioritize user experience and thoughtful design over feature output.

  • Resistance to Feedback: Comfort with iterating based on feedback, data, and testing is key.

  • Inflexibility: This role requires adaptability to changing requirements and team dynamics.

  • Low Initiative: If you need constant direction and lack proactivity, this environment won’t suit you.

We offer:

  • 100% remote work from anywhere in the world. No location-based adjustment to your salary.

  • Autonomous work. We work collaboratively on projects, but you set your own pace.

  • Health, Vision and Dental benefits. Supabase covers 100% of the cost for employees and 80% for dependants

  • Generous Tech Allowance for any office setup you need

  • Annual Education Allowance

  • Annually run off-sites.

About the team

  • We're a startup. It's unstructured.

  • Collectively founded more than 30 startups.

  • Globally distributed team with more than 30 different nationalities.

  • We deeply believe in the efficacy of collaborative open source. We support existing communities and tools, rather than building "yet another xx".

  • We "dogfood" everything. If you use it in your project, we use it in Supabase.

Process

  • The entire process is fully remote and all communication will happen over email or via video chat.

  • Once you've submitted your application, the team will review your submission and may reach out for a short screening interview over a video call.

  • If you pass the screen you will be invited to up to four follow-up interviews.

  • The calls:

    • usually take between 20-45 minutes each depending on the interviewer.

    • most of the time, are all 1:1.

    • will be with the founders, a member of either the growth or engineering team (depending on the role) and usually one other person from your immediate team or function.

  • Once the interviews are over, the team will meet to discuss several roles and candidates and may:

    • ask one or two follow-up questions over email or a quick call.

    • go directly to making an offer.
