We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.

What You’ll Be Responsible for In this role, you’ll: Investigate and resolve advanced customer issues across Postgres, Auth, RLS, Storage, Realtime, Edge Functions, and client libraries. Provide consultative, proactive advice to optimize workloads, avoid common pitfalls, and tailored advice to our most advanced users.

Communicate clearly and empathetically with customer users of all levels—especially during high-impact or time-sensitive situations. Spot patterns across tickets and recommend improvements to docs, tooling, and the product itself. Mentor junior team members and help raise the overall bar for support quality.
