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

What does success look like in the role?We have a product engineering culture, not a software engineering one.

Building a deep understanding of our product and the problems our customers face
Owning features from conception to completion by talking to customers, planning and getting input from other team members, then building, testing and delivering an exception product experience
Caring deeply about the quality and standard of work
Balancing that with working quickly and staying focused on the goal
Actively communicating and collaborating with the team

We are fully remote, though aim to work as collaboratively as possible.
We meet daily for our team standup, as well as with ad-hoc code pairing sessions throughout the day.
We're big on work-life balance. Your evenings and weekends are always yours.
We aim to get together in person twice per year
The process is fully remote and all communication will happen over email or via video chat. Once you've submitted your application, the team will review your submission for suitability, and if it is suitable, invite you to a short screening interview over video call.
If you pass the screen you will be asked to complete a technical interview, with some live coding and discussion of previous projects you've worked on.
We aim to screen, interview, send and finalize an offer within 2 weeks of application.
