Lead Software Engineer

Location: Bangalore / Hybrid

Duration: 6 months

Internship type: Full-time

Stipend: ₹20,000 per month

Potential outcome: Full-time opportunity based on performance

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Supabase Engineering Intern to help build and strengthen the backend of our SaaS products.

You will work with Supabase not merely as a hosted database, but as a complete backend platform—including PostgreSQL, authentication, Row-Level Security, storage, database functions, migrations, and application integrations.

This is a full-time, six-month internship suited to someone who has already built projects using Supabase and wants experience working on a real multi-tenant production application.

What You Will Work On

• Design and maintain PostgreSQL tables, relationships, indexes, and constraints.
• Implement secure multi-tenant access using Supabase Row-Level Security policies.
• Integrate Supabase Auth with a Next.js and TypeScript application.
• Build backend workflows using database functions, triggers, RPCs, and Edge Functions.
• Manage schema migrations across development and production environments.
• Work with Supabase Storage and implement secure file-access policies.
• Diagnose slow queries and improve database performance.
• Build reliable application APIs and data-access layers.
• Write seed data, automated tests, and technical documentation.
• Help investigate and resolve production database, authentication, and permission issues.
• Review existing implementations for data leakage, incorrect RLS policies, and security risks.

Required Skills

• Practical experience building at least one project using Supabase.
• Good understanding of SQL and relational database fundamentals.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL tables, joins, indexes, constraints, and transactions.
• Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Basic experience with Next.js, React, Node.js, or another modern web framework.
• Understanding of authentication and authorization concepts.
• Ability to use Git and GitHub.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to commit full-time for the complete six-month internship.

Good to Have

• Experience implementing Supabase Row-Level Security policies.
• Understanding of multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
• Experience with Supabase Edge Functions, database functions, triggers, or RPCs.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL query optimization and EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
• Experience managing Supabase migrations through the CLI.
• Knowledge of REST APIs, webhooks, background jobs, or third-party integrations.
• Experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex.
• Contributions to open-source projects or independently deployed applications.

Who Should Apply

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have built and deployed a working Supabase application.
• Enjoy backend engineering, databases, and debugging.
• Can explain why you structured your database and access policies in a particular way.
• Are comfortable learning through documentation and experimentation.
• Take ownership instead of waiting for detailed instructions for every task.
• Want meaningful product-engineering experience rather than a certificate-based internship.

What You Will Learn

• How production-grade multi-tenant SaaS applications are designed.
• Secure database access using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security.
• Development-to-production database migration workflows.
• Authentication, authorization, storage, and backend architecture.
• Performance optimization and production debugging.
• How a startup engineering team ships and operates real products.

Application Process

To apply, please share:

1. Your resume.
2. GitHub profile.
3. Links to one or two relevant projects.
4. A short explanation of how you used Supabase in one project.
5. An example of an RLS policy, database function, or Edge Function you have written.
6. Your current location and availability.
7. Confirmation that you can commit full-time for six months.

Important: Tutorial-only projects will not be sufficient. We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate that they understand the database and security decisions made in their projects.
