SELECT is growing our product engineering team. We have great product market
fit and direction, tripling our business in 2024. Here, you own problems and
ship software multiple times daily. If you want to have a huge impact,
building software for other engineers to use, in an evironment with little
bureaucracy, then apply here!
### What's SELECT?
Founded in 2022, SELECT was born out of our desire for a product to find
opportunities to optimize and make managing cloud data costs easier. After a
period of research and consultation with other practitioners, we learned we
weren't alone in wanting such a thing, so we set about building SELECT.
Skipping forward to today, SELECT has over 100 customers, with a product built
by a super-motivated, lean team talking to and shipping new features for our
customers every single week.
### What would I be working on?
We prioritise ruthlessly toward delivering value for our customers and make
high-leverage investments. As a senior product engineer, you would work
alongside a few other engineers to:
* Identify the right problems to solve, focusing on meaningful outcomes, and using your experience to make trade-offs that have the highest impact on customers as fast as possible
* Engage with future and existing customers to gather feedback that allows you to better understand what problems we can solve for them.
* Take end-to-end ownership for features from start to finish - from inputting into initial design and planning all the way through to implementation, testing, and delivery
* Use your expertise to iterate at speed, relying on strong instincts to pragmatically drive the right outcomes while balancing speed and depth.
* Set a high bar for collaboration, communication, and sound decision making. From well-written proposals and documentation to clear commit messages and thorough testing
The kinds of features the team work on include:
* Creating new cost management features such as forecasts, anomaly alerts and cost allocations to make staying on top of costs a breeze
* Developing reusable and robust UI components to make the cost exploration experience as seamless as possible
* Building new data visualization capabilities to communicate performance, query timing and efficiency in novel ways
* Building data pipelines and dbt models to surface new insights and opportunities to our users
* Improving the reliability & performance of our application

[documentation](https://select.dev/docs) for examples of actual features we're
shipping.
