Product Security Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a Product Security Engineer to join our team and help strengthen how security is built into Supabase’s products, platform, and engineering workflows as we continue to scale. You’ll work closely with software engineers, infrastructure teams, and technical leadership, helping us proactively reduce risk earlier in the development lifecycle and ship securely by default. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions. Success in this role means improving the security posture of the product without becoming a blocker to speed, autonomy, or builder velocity. WHAT YOU’LL OWN In this role, you’ll: - Identify and close gaps across application security, secure design review, and vulnerability management. - Conduct threat modeling, secure design reviews, and code reviews to identify practical remediation paths. - Partner closely with engineering teams to provide product-focused security expertise and shape a modern security program. - Mature how we think about security in a developer-first environment, balancing pragmatism with strong technical judgment. - Distinguish between theoretical risk and material business risk to prioritize security efforts effectively. - Improve security posture through scalable mechanisms like tooling, automation, secure defaults, and developer-friendly guardrails. - Support security incident response by helping triage, investigate, and coordinate remediation for product and platform security issues. - Participate in security on-call rotations, helping respond to urgent security events with clear judgment and calm execution. - Help manage and mature our bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure processes, including triage, validation, prioritization, and coordination with engineering teams. YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU - Have strong experience in product security, application security, or security engineering. - Are comfortable working with cloud-native, developer tools, SaaS, platform, or infrastructure products. - Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially in a written, asynchronous environment. - Are energized by solving real-world problems for developers and navigating ambiguity while moving quickly. - Possess a deep understanding of application security fundamentals, including auth, session management, APIs, and secrets handling. - Have experience with vulnerability triage, bug bounty programs, responsible disclosure, or security incident response. - Are comfortable participating in potential security on-call rotation and can balance urgency, risk, and practical remediation. - Have experience with or interest in Postgres, Kubernetes, or building security guardrails that enable rather than enforce. WHAT WE OFFER - Fully Remote We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world. - ESOP Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company.

It’s a highlight of our year. - Flexible Work We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when. - Professional Development Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth. ABOUT THE TEAM Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love. - ~400 team members - 60+ countries - 20+ languages spoken - Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F) - 540,000+ community members We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
