Developer Relations Engineer at Supabase | Series F in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This Developer Relations Engineer role at Supabase sits at a highly strategic intersection of engineering, content creation, and community building — a combination that's increasingly rare and valuable in the developer tools market.
Compensation context: No salary is listed, but DevRel Engineers at well-funded developer tools companies (Series F, $1B+ raised) in New York typically earn $140,000–$200,000 base, plus equity. The ESOP component here could be meaningful given Supabase's growth trajectory and valuation.
Skills you'll build:
- Technical content production (video, written tutorials) — a highly portable, in-demand skill set
- Full-stack development with modern tooling (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Postgres)
- Public speaking, livestreaming, and community management at scale
- Cross-functional collaboration with product and engineering teams
Green flags: Supabase is a Series F company with $1B+ raised and 540,000+ community members — late enough to be stable, early enough for meaningful equity upside. The async-first, born-remote culture signals strong work-life balance. An education allowance and professional development budget indicate investment in employee growth.
Career trajectory: DevRel at a high-growth open-source platform is an excellent launchpad into Head of DevRel, VP of Developer Experience, or technical founding roles at startups. Building a public audience (YouTube, Twitter) through this role compounds your personal brand independently of any employer.
Potential consideration: The NYC in-person requirement narrows the talent pool but also signals this is a high-visibility, production-quality content role — not a catch-all community manager position.

About the Role
We're looking for a Developer Relations Engineer based in New York, NY to join our team and help more developers discover, learn, and build with Supabase. You'll create high-impact content, build real-world projects, and represent Supabase across communities and events. If you're equally energized by writing code and teaching others, this is the role for you.
Why This Role Matters
Supabase is growing fast with 350,000+ developers, 1,000+ OSS contributors, and a thriving open source ecosystem. Our users are builders, startup founders, weekend hackers, and engineers scaling to millions of users. DevRel is how we meet them where they are: through content, community, and code.
We're building a community of communities that brings together developers from many backgrounds, including first-time open source contributors. As a DevRel Engineer, you'll be a bridge between Supabase and the broader developer ecosystem, helping people get started, go deep, and feel connected.
What You'll Do
Make content — Publish compelling technical content, especially video, to help developers learn Supabase quickly
Build demos and tutorials — Ship real-world apps using Supabase and tools like Next.js, React, and Stripe. Write guides that others can follow and remix
Represent Supabase — Speak at meetups, livestream builds, and engage with the developer ecosystem. You'll be a visible and trusted voice of the platform
Support and grow the community — Celebrate contributors, answer questions, highlight cool projects, and bring developer feedback to the team
Collaborate across the company — Work with engineering, product, and growth to amplify launches, prioritize content, and reduce friction for new users
You Might Be a Good Fit If
You've built full-stack apps and enjoy sharing your knowledge
You create content that makes people want to open their code editor
You're equally comfortable writing a video script and TypeScript
You're energized by community — whether it's on Discord, Twitter, YouTube, or in person
You're self-directed, organized, and excited to contribute to open source
Requirements
This role is based in New York to support regular in-person DevRel video shoots, attend local events, and be an active presence in the NY tech ecosystem.
Strong engineering skills, especially with JavaScript or TypeScript, Postgres, and modern frontend frameworks (React, Svelte, Vue, etc.)
Experience creating technical content (written or video)
Comfortable representing a product publicly (on camera, on stage, or online)
Bonus Points If You Have
A growing audience on YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter
Prior experience in DevRel or open source
Have used (and loved) Supabase
