Have substantial backend or full-stack experience with strong fluency in TypeScript, and have built or contributed to a backend system, framework, or developer platform before
Are a strong generalist, comfortable moving across the stack from API design to storage internals to infrastructure, and picking up whatever the problem needs
Read unfamiliar code without friction. A lot of the work means studying reference implementations in other languages, such as GoTrue in Go and PostgREST in Haskell, and matching their behavior in TypeScript
Have a solid grounding in SQL and relational databases, and the curiosity to dig into where Postgres and SQLite differ
Have a bias toward compatibility and correctness, and reach for tests and specs to prove behavior
Think around corners. When everyone reaches for the standard playbook, you look for the simpler path that fits a smaller box — breaking a complex system down to the 20% that covers 80% of the need, then making it run somewhere far smaller than it was designed for
Care about developer experience: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and tooling that makes the right thing the easy thing
Are comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage work and making sound calls that inform and define the spec. This is a founding role on a brand-new team
Are comfortable working in public repositories on a remote, async team
Communicate clearly in writing
Bonus: experience with the Supabase stack, building developer CLIs, or a track record of open-source maintenance
