    • •A strong vision for how compute and data can be pushed to the edge

    What You'll Do

    • •Expanding functions to support more use cases (AI inference, MCP servers, hosting simple websites, URL shorteners)
    • •Improving the DX of developing and debugging functions locally through the Supabase CLI, including DevTools integration, logging, and production parity

    Nice to Have

    • •Experience building developer-facing CLIs or front-end tooling that sits on top of an infrastructure product
