SDK Engineer - Kotlin
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 Kotlin SDK Engineer to join our SDK team and help bring first-class Supabase support to the Android and Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystems. You'll work closely with the broader SDK team, the developer community, and product engineering, helping us design, build, and maintain a Kotlin SDK that feels native to the ecosystem and scales to millions of developers.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.
What You'll Own
Design and build the Supabase Kotlin SDK, including Auth, Database, Storage, Functions and Realtime clients
Define API conventions and patterns that feel idiomatic to Kotlin developers — coroutine-native, expressive, and consistent with Android and KMP ecosystem expectations
Drive the SDK roadmap, identifying gaps and prioritizing improvements based on developer feedback and Supabase product direction
Engage the Android and Kotlin developer community through GitHub, Discord, and open source — triaging issues, reviewing contributions, and iterating in the open
Collaborate with the broader SDK team to maintain consistency, share patterns, and raise the quality bar across all supported languages
Write documentation, guides, and code samples that help developers get started quickly and go deep with confidence
What You Bring
Have 5+ years of experience building production Kotlin applications across mobile, web, or desktop
Are deeply familiar with the Kotlin ecosystem — coroutines, Flow, Gradle, Jetpack libraries, and the conventions Kotlin developers expect in a well-designed library
Have prior experience building SDKs, libraries, or other developer-facing products
Are comfortable working across multiple languages and drawing on patterns from other ecosystems
Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences
Have experience in async or globally distributed teams
Are energized by solving real-world problems for developers
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly
