<h2>About Supabase</h2>Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. 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.<h2>About The Role</h2>We are looking for a Senior CLI Engineer to join our CLI Team and help build a world-class local development experience - while owning a significant share of the API and backend work that powers it.This is a hands-on individual contributor role. Technically, expect roughly 80% backend / API work and 20% CLI work: most of your time will be on TypeScript server-side development, primarily with NestJS (API modules, controllers, services, integrations), with a steady commitment to cross-platform CLI quality, releases, and developer experience.You will work closely with customers, product teams, and the open source community to deliver systems that are consistent, secure, and performant - across Windows, Linux, and macOS for the CLI, and through well-designed APIs for everything else.This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and wants depth in backend delivery without stepping away from CLI and DX as a core part of the job.<h2>What You’ll Own</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li>Design, build, and operate backend APIs and services in TypeScript, using NestJS patterns (modules, providers, pipelines) where that is how we ship - prioritizing security, performance, and clear contracts for internal and external consumers.</li><li>Design and develop CLI tooling that is consistent, secure, and performant across Windows, Linux, and macOS, aligned with the same platform capabilities the backend exposes.</li><li>Collaborate with product and platform teams to define end-to-end behavior: from HTTP/API design through to how the CLI and local development stack surface those capabilities.</li><li>Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests across backend and CLI so reliability and maintainability stay high as the surface area grows.</li><li>Create documentation and help content for API consumers, CLI users, and contributing developers.</li><li>Participate in releases, versioning, and backwards compatibility for the components you own.</li><li>Monitor usage and feedback; work with customers and the open source community to improve both API/backend and CLI experiences.</li></ul><h2>What You’ll Bring</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li>5+ years of software development experience with a strong track record in backend systems and/or developer-facing tooling.</li><li>Strong TypeScript and professional experience shipping production API and server-side code; NestJS experience is strongly aligned with how the CLI Team builds.</li><li>Hands-on experience with command-line tools (building, maintaining, or owning CLIs), including cross-platform concerns: filesystem access, subprocess management, terminal UX, and platform-specific behavior.</li><li>Proficiency in one or more languages commonly used for CLI and backend work (for example TypeScript/Node, Rust, Python, Go, C++). For this role, depth in TypeScript is essential.</li><li>Experience building CLIs with strong user experience: intuitive command structure, clear output, and actionable error messaging.</li><li>Familiarity with package distribution and installation (for example npm, yarn, Homebrew, APT, Snap, Scoop, Chocolatey) as they relate to how users install and update tools.</li><li>Solid Git workflow and CI/CD experience for automated testing and deployment.</li></ul>Nice to have:<ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li>Contributions to open-source CLI tools, libraries, or backend frameworks.</li><li>Experience with containerization and orchestration (for example Docker, Kubernetes).</li><li>Familiarity with database migration management, Postgres, and related drivers or protocols where they intersect platform or CLI workflows.</li></ul><h3>What We Offer</h3><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li>Fully RemoteWe hire globally.
