Documentation Engineer
About Supabase
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.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Docs Engineer to help build and contribute to our documentation site, API, and Docs AI tools. You’ll be responsible for our docs site and content pipelines, building the tools for product teams and other contributors to showcase Supabase features.
We believe that documentation is more than just a tool. It’s part of our product. The documentation is where developers take their first step on their side project.
We know our docs need a lot of work, and that’s why we need you. If you have ideas for what the best docs in the world would look like, now, and in the future we want you to join us and make that happen.
What you'll be responsible for:
Leveling up our documentation site. Making it a best-in-class experience for users ranging from indie vibe coders to enterprise engineering teams.
Maintaining our docs tooling and content pipelines, making working on docs a smooth experience for both internal and external contributors.
Working with our open source contributors through GitHub discussions, issues, and pull requests.
You might be a good fit if you:
Have Front-end experience. You can build and maintain a Next.js site and content pipelines.
Have experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation for content or documentation workflows to help reduce repetitive tasks.
Have documentation experience. You know something about information architecture, and ideally have worked on a docs site.
Have the open source or community facilitation experience (it’s a plus). Our docs are open source, and you’ll need to engage with the community through GitHub issues and pull requests.
Have experience with automated testing and building pipelines for docs.
