Who backs Supabase

In June 2026 Supabase raised a $500M Series F at a $10.5B post-money valuation, led by GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, with Accel, Y Combinator, Craft, Felicis, Peak XV and Coatue all participating, Stripe investing for a second time, and Salesforce Ventures and Georgian joining. That came seven months after a $100M Series E at $5B co-led by Accel and Peak XV (October 2025), which itself followed a $200M Series D at $2B earlier in 2025. Total capital raised is over $1B. The team is around 400 people.

What is Supabase?

Supabase is an open source Postgres development platform: a Postgres database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime and vector search behind one API, plus a marketplace of 100+ partner integrations. It started in January 2020 as an open source alternative to Firebase, went through Y Combinator's Summer 2020 batch, and has become the default backend for AI coding tools. Nearly 10 million developers build on it, database launches grew over 600% in the year to June 2026, and more than 60% of new databases are now created by AI agents such as Lovable, Bolt, Replit and Figma. Named customers include PwC, McDonald's and GitHub Next, and over half of a recent YC batch used it.

Who founded Supabase

Paul Copplestone, CEO and co-founder. Grew up on a farm near Kaikoura, New Zealand, and earned a BCom in IT Project Management and E-Business Systems at the University of Canterbury. Co-founded ServisHero, a home-services marketplace in Malaysia and Singapore, as CTO in 2015, then co-founded Nimbus For Work, an office-management tool whose Firebase scaling limits led him to build realtime on Postgres, the prototype that became Supabase. Met Ant Wilson at Entrepreneur First in Singapore and now angel invests in around 50 companies.

Ant Wilson, CTO and co-founder. From Liverpool, with a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Leeds and an MSc in Computing (Software Engineering) from Imperial College London. Founded two earlier startups, STYLINDEX and Crypto Squad, went through Techstars London in 2017 and Entrepreneur First Singapore in 2018, and did blockchain research at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Writes most of Supabase's public posts on how the company works.

Where does Supabase hire remotely?

Supabase is a fully remote company that hires everywhere: staff work from more than 60 countries and most roles are open worldwide. Some roles are tagged to the Americas, EMEA or APAC for timezone coverage, and a few are anchored to San Francisco, New York, London or Singapore for in-person partner and community work. There are no offices; press releases carry a San Francisco dateline and the founders started the company from Singapore in 2020.

Why Supabase is exciting to work for

Pay is not adjusted for where you live. Ant Wilson wrote in 2023 that the same role gets the same package everywhere, which lands around the 60th to 80th percentile in a major US city and the 95th to 99th percentile almost anywhere else, and the Series F post repeats it: "people get paid for the result of their work, not the city they live in." Health insurance is covered 100% for employees and 80% for dependents wherever you are, on top of a tech allowance and an annual education allowance.

The engineering scope is unusually deep for a company this size. Supabase hired Sugu Sougoumarane, co-creator of Vitess, to lead Multigres, a sharding and high-availability layer for Postgres that reached v0.1 alpha in June 2026, and it is pushing OrioleDB, a new Postgres storage engine, toward production readiness in 2026. Current openings include founding roles on brand-new teams: a Supabase Lite team rewriting the stack in TypeScript on SQLite, and a performance engineering team that is expected to grow to roughly six people this year with no legacy process to inherit.

The company was built for remote work from day one rather than adapting to it. It runs on roughly three-month product cycles that end in a Launch Week, a format Supabase popularized: 15 Launch Weeks between March 2021 and July 2025, each shipping something new every day. Wilson's own account is that the cycle was designed to recreate the conditions of a YC batch inside the company, and that the first Launch Week is a career highlight for many team members.

Supabase vibe check

Work week
Fully async with no set hours; Ant Wilson: "we don't care when you work," some people start at 5am and others work late into the night.
Hours
Support roles are the exception: weekend Support Engineer postings are four 10-hour shifts, Friday to Monday, fixed to 16:00-02:00 UTC (AMER) or 08:00-18:00 UTC (EMEA).
Office
No fixed workplace: every team member gets a WeWork membership or co-working allowance usable in any city.
Pace
Glassdoor scores work-life balance 3.0/5 against a 4.8/5 overall rating from 5 reviews (as reported by JobsByCulture, March 2026).
Meetings
Used as a last resort; the 2022 hiring post says the ideal is zero recurring meetings, and project leads choose their own process, from kanban and standups to fully async RFCs.
Equity
Every employee gets stock options with a 10-year exercise window, and the June 2026 Series F let staff sell up to 25% of vested stock.
Notable
The whole company meets once a year for an offsite in a new city, 11 days in Bali in 2023.

What to expect from the culture

Supabase publishes five traits it hires for: Egoless, Kaizen mindset, Truth seeking, Batteries included and Undeniable. Ant Wilson's 2022 post "Who We Hire" is blunter than the careers page: "A willingness to do the schlep is essential to working at Supabase," the most valued people are "Supa-unblockers" who take work off your plate, and at the time everyone from the CFO to the infra team had front-line support listed first in their job description. Paul Copplestone described the same thing to First Round: an "egoless" but "hyper-competitive" culture, and "I don't want to work with assholes."

Bias to action is the founding story. Wilson recalls that after an all-day whiteboarding session on 6 January 2020, Copplestone opened his laptop and started coding while the kettle boiled, and that there would never be "a whiff of 'Let's meet next week to discuss'." The stated hiring rule from the 2023 remote post is "Hire people who are: Smart, Get Things Done. Everything else is a Nice to Have. Including proximity." The company prefers hiring ex-founders, and in 2022 it had no managers at all; that has changed with scale, and current postings include an Engineering Manager for Billing who runs 1:1s, performance reviews and hiring.

Launch Weeks are the heartbeat and Supabase is open that they cost something. Wilson wrote in 2021 that "it's inevitable that some team members will have pulled long days and nights to get their feature out the door," that each cycle therefore ends with downtime and maintenance mode, and that launch adrenaline often spills into the following weeks before people rest. Employee reviews echo it: "Great company, can be tiring" and "heavy focus on launch weeks versus fundamentals of reliability and automation."

How to get hired at Supabase

Supabase does not publish its interview process. Candidate reports collected by third-party interview guides describe a fully remote loop of roughly two to four weeks: a 30-minute recruiter screen, a technical screen with a peer engineer, a take-home of about four to six hours for most senior and staff roles that typically extends open source code, then up to four conversations including one with a founder. Written communication is judged at every stage, including the README that accompanies your take-home.

The bar skews senior. Wilson wrote in 2023 that hiring is heavily weighted toward experienced engineers with open source backgrounds and that junior hiring is rare, and the company says it looks for the best person for the job no matter where they live. If you are early in your career, contributing to the public repositories is the realistic way in: several current postings ask for comfort working in public repos and experience on async or globally distributed teams, and design leads have invited people to reach out directly even when no posting exists.

Supabase hiring FAQ

Can Supabase be self-hosted?

Yes. Every project is its own isolated Postgres cluster, the whole stack is open source and runs locally or self-hosted with Docker, and the CLI supports local development, migrations and a database branch per pull request. Row-level security, file Storage, Edge Functions and Realtime subscriptions are all auto-exposed through APIs and a dashboard.

How much does Supabase pay?

Supabase does not publish salary bands; the one current posting with a range is a Bay Area based Product Manager at $200K to $270K plus equity. Because packages are the same worldwide, an offer in a lower-cost country is unusually strong relative to the local market.

Does Supabase have timezone requirements?

Most engineering roles are listed as Remote, Global with no overlap requirement. Region-tagged roles do expect coverage: the Executive Assistant to the CEO must sit in an APAC timezone, Platform Security is hiring in AMER or EMEA, and partnerships leads sit in Singapore and London.

What is the tech stack at Supabase?

Postgres at the core, with services in several languages: Realtime in Elixir, GoTrue (Auth) in Go, PostgREST in Haskell, the client libraries and Supabase Lite in TypeScript, and infrastructure on AWS with a GCP footprint managed with Terraform and Python. The FinOps team uses Hex for dashboards, and the marketplace integrates Stripe and Orb for billing.

Does Supabase hire interns or junior engineers?

There is no internship program and none of the 59 roles open on Ashby in September 2026 is junior. The Launch Week hackathons are open to anyone and are a visible way to get noticed.

Is there on-call at Supabase?

Yes for platform roles. Postings for Platform Engineer (Edge and Networking) and Release Engineer list on-call rotations, incident response and blameless postmortems as responsibilities, with SLOs and error budgets on the deployment pipelines.
