Develop and maintain the Kotlin SDK for Supabase, enabling native, scalable developer tools for Android and Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystems.

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.
280+ team members
55+ countries
20+ languages spoken
$500M raised
500,000+ 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.

We're looking for a Kotlin SDK Engineer to join our SDK team and help bring first-class Supabase support to the Android and Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystems. You'll work closely with the broader SDK team, the developer community, and product engineering, helping us design, build, and maintain a Kotlin SDK that feels native to the ecosystem and scales to millions of developers.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

Have 5+ years of experience building production Kotlin applications across mobile, web, or desktop
Are deeply familiar with the Kotlin ecosystem — coroutines, Flow, Gradle, Jetpack libraries, and the conventions Kotlin developers expect in a well-designed library
Have prior experience building SDKs, libraries, or other developer-facing products
Are comfortable working across multiple languages and drawing on patterns from other ecosystems
Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences
Have experience in async or globally distributed teams
Are energized by solving real-world problems for developers
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly

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. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.
Tech Allowance Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
Health Benefits Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.
Annual Off-Sites Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. 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.

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:
Apply – Our team will review your application.
Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.
Interviews – Up to four calls with: Team Leads
Future teammates
Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)
Someone from our leadership/founding team
Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.
All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
