SELECT is expanding the engineering team to expand SELECT's product offering and provide value to more customers. Wide-ranging curiosity for diving into abstract problems and being motivated to reach your full potential as an engineer is essential.

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's the stack?

We chose our stack to be both modern and battle-tested.

What would I be working on?

As a tight team, we prioritise ruthlessly toward delivering value for our customers and make high-leverage investments in our codebase and platform to improve developer experience, safety and robustness. The kinds of features the team work on include:

  • We meet daily for our team standup at 10AM Eastern Time, as well as with ad-hoc code pairing sessions throughout the day.
