ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Team Lead: CLI/Local Experience to join our Dev Workflow team and lead a high-impact area of the developer experience. You will guide both technical direction and team execution for Supabase CLI and local development workflows across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

This is a hands-on leadership role with an expected split of roughly 60% engineering / 40% leadership. You will partner with PM and engineering leadership on roadmap priorities, drive delivery with your team, and ensure we ship a consistent, secure, and performant CLI experience for developers at scale.

You will start with 3 direct reports and are expected to grow and lead the team to 6 engineers over the next 6-12 months.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- Lead the CLI/Local Experience team, including coaching, 1:1s, goal setting, formal performance reviews, and promotion recommendations.

- Own the team hiring plan and run the full hiring loop for CLI/Local Experience roles.

- Drive technical strategy with the team and partners through RFCs, design reviews, and iterative delivery.

- Contribute directly to implementation in TypeScript, with a strong focus on architecture, reliability, and maintainability.

- Ensure technical excellence across team output, including code quality, test coverage, release readiness, and backwards compatibility.

- Unblock engineers day to day and improve workflow and delivery practices (for example, planning and execution in Linear).

- Partner with PM and engineering leadership in a shared roadmap model to define priorities, scope, and outcomes.

- Monitor customer feedback, OSS issues, and usage signals to continuously improve local development DX.
