The unique approach of building Supabase allows us to attract top talent globally, especially former founders who value independence and freedom in their work. I think the system we've built is the scalable solution that most companies need to find eventually; as a founder, you can't be across everything.

We only hire for a role if we're underwater for that function, ensuring that every hire is necessary and contributes to our goals.

Efficiency is a core value for us; we embrace the challenge of not hiring excessively, which forces creativity and focus on what's important.

I built Supabase not for investors, but to create the best product for developers.

We prioritize hiring super talented individuals who fit our culture and are incredibly hardworking, regardless of their experience.

Our written culture is crucial at Supabase, as it helps us filter out those who don't thrive in a remote work environment where most communication is asynchronous.

Our team values the importance of having the right people with the right expertise to innovate and solve problems effectively.

Founders sometimes hire for future problems they anticipate, but it's crucial to focus on immediate challenges instead of speculative hires.

When hiring, we look for people who have a growth mindset, are humble, and are doers who can fix problems. It's essential to have a team that can get things done and is productive.
