Supabase | Customer Reliability Engineer (CRE) | Remote | Full-time | https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase

Fully remote, fully async, fully open-source. A CRE is a point of contact available, both internally and externally, to advise on best practice. Normally, they are knowledgeable in a specific area (i.e. Realtime, Postgres) but they aim to be generalists on the platform as a whole. They do not have specific customers that they help; instead they get involved with deeper, longer-running cases to achieve an outcome.

Looking for more of a focused development role? Sure thing, we have many roles open!

Check out here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase/26ad8432-a03e-40f9-a4cc-05...


I see most roles on your careers page demand 5+ YoE with a particular technology. Do you hire any freshers or recent grads (0-2 YoE)?

fwiw, your career page seems broken (https://supabase.com/careers)

Interested, dropped a LinkedIn message.

Supabase.io | Customer Solution Architect / Engineer | Full-time | REMOTE (US)

I am one of the first SAs at Supabase and our role is to help onboard, optimise and advise on all parts of the Supabase platform.

No need to be a postgres expert, you will be working with customers of all sizes and using all aspects of the platform. One minute you might be onboarding an engineering team and the next you might be helping an existing customer with their scaling plans for the next 6 months or triaging a bug/feature request to ensure the Product team understands the context and priority. Technical skills are vital but "self-starter" is equally key. Being able to determine what cases need your attention compared to those that need escalating to Product or Engineering. Excellent comms skills (internal and external) certainly help, too!

I wanted to work at Supabase because of its open source nature and I want to stay here because of its fully remote, autonomous nature. Trust first in the work we do and it is easy to grab a member of the team to solve a problem async.

Job post and application details are here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase/d5573afa-636c-4219-832f-38...

Have you checked out this repo: https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-custom-claims?

The "raw_app_meta_data" stored for a user is not writeable by the user, so you can store roles and/or privileges in there.


Thanks for sharing. Wasn’t aware of this. Will check it out today.

For now, I figured I’d have an BEFORE UPDATE trigger which compares the md5(NEW.privileges::text) with md5(OLD.privileges::text) and raises an error if they don’t match.

Not sure how to bypass the trigger for service accounts.


histre.com does this


Please correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like Histre requires an explicit save action.


Histre[0] automatically saves your browsing history (customizeable[0] of course). No explicit save action needed.

Subscription fatigue.


If you want a demo for https://aiven.io, I would be happy to give a walkthrough (non sales related, purely technical)? Or, if there is enough interest, I could do a short video explanation and upload here.


Yep, saves to a local folder that you can sync


The limitations are purely on the iOS device. I am using Syncthing on iOS with Obsidian and no issues. Fully agree with wanting to avoid iCloud in all cases where one can.

> (Also, sidenote: assuming gender is maybe not necessary: his => their)

On a personal note, please don't do this. I understand people choosing their preferred pronouns, but don't force it on others unless they have stated preferred pronouns too.

Quick edit: went and looked at the developer team (https://obsidian.md/about). It's actually a man, a woman and two cats, so "their" is clearly appropriate.


The iOS limitations are a given, we don’t need to discuss them.

Joplin, as an example, allows syncing via WebDAV. Which you can easily self host.

I know that Joplin works differently. Obsidian also has integrated sync capabilities, but it’s a proprietary protocol and you can’t self host it. And I guess this is a design decision of the authors. To sell their service. They probably need some money to pay their bills.


It is proprietary? I mean the code is but I have no idea if the protocol is. Obsidian is a note taking app that saves to a folder. Any OS it runs on can use any syncing solution (as long as the OS supports access to those folders)


How are you using Syncthing? What’s the actual app?


I'm also interested in that. I tried MöbiusSync, but it can only sync inside it's own folder. And Obsidian can only open vaults from it's own folder, or iCloud.


For me: cross platform (the power of the app on iPad as well as Android is pretty amazing). Custom templates: being able to run a CLI command and pull those. data directly into a note is glorious Other thoughts: - Easy refactoring - My own cloud storage (syncthing and synology) - Plugins - Workspaces


Aiven.io | Solutions Architect(s) | Remote (EU, US and Canada) | Full-time | https://aiven.io

Aiven is a managed service offering open source, multi-cloud data pipelines using software like Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Cassandra and M3DB.

I am one of the Solutions Architects in the EU and have been with the company for just over a year. We have seen some huge growth in the past few years and the pandemic accelerated that somewhat. My team is looking for 1 more Solutions Architect and the US side has 2/3 open positions.

Working cross-cloud with Python, Go, Kubernetes and Terraform, as well as being involved with a bunch of interesting use cases for the services we offer and using your expertise to advise new/existing customers.

If you want more info (or see other positions), we have a pretty sizeable list (including less technical roles) here: https://apply.workable.com/aiven/ or you can contact me directly: chrisg (at) aiven (dot) io


Those are some impressive numbers! Do you have a post on the method(s) you used?


Definitely, you can see the performance benchmark comparing workloads in this post: https://scalegrid.io/blog/comparing-postgresql-digitalocean-...


Thanks! I saw the benchmark but how did you match the PG config? I.e. Was SSL enabled on ScaleGrid vs the default SSL enabled on DO?
