Build and maintain compute capacity planning systems that keep Supabase’s forecasted supply ahead of demand across regions. You’ll automate reservation acquisition and fleet reconciliation, detect drift between committed and running capacity, and extend infrastructure-as-code for capacity provisioning. Own the observability layer—metrics and alerting for saturation, reservation coverage, and forecast error—so capacity issues surface months early. Help guide demand intake and drive cost improvements through right-sizing and placement decisions.
