Supabase (YC S20) Is Hiring for Multigres

Supabase is a fast-growing open-source startup (Y Combinator S20) that offers a Firebase alternative built on PostgreSQL. "Multigres" appears to be an internal project name — likely portmanteau of "Multi" + "Postgres" — suggesting the company is building technology to run multiple PostgreSQL databases as a single logical system, a challenging distributed-databases problem. For context: Supabase already provides real-time subscriptions, auth, storage, and edge functions on top of Postgres, competing with Google's Firebase (which uses NoSQL). A hiring push for Multigres signals Supabase is investing in horizontal scaling, sharding, or multi-tenant isolation — features needed to serve larger enterprise customers who outgrow a single database instance. Anyone following the developer-tools / open-source infrastructure space should care: if Supabase solves Postgres scaling elegantly, it could become the default backend for a generation of web apps.
