Software Engineer

Selector Software•Santa Clara, CA

42d•$120,000 - $140,000

About The Position

Selector is building an operational intelligence platform for digital infrastructure. Using an AI/ML-based analytics approach, the platform provides actionable, multi-dimensional insights to network, cloud, and application operators. It helps operations teams meet their KPIs through seamless collaboration, a search-driven conversational experience, and automated data engineering pipelines. Our solutions are used by leading Telecom, Media, Health Care, Finance, Retail, Professional Sports, and Fortune 500 enterprise organizations around the world. Our novel approach and rapidly expanding footprint position us for continued growth as a category leader. This is a backend-heavy role for engineers who want to solve complex data and systems problems — and see that work run in production, inside a customer's environment, not just in a sprint backlog. You'll build and maintain the ETL pipelines, data models, and integrations that power Selector's platform, applying agentic AI workflows to help infrastructure reason about itself at scale. You'll also work directly with customers to understand their data and environment, translating complex technical concepts into solutions that fit their specific, high-stakes infrastructure — so your backend work isn't abstract, it's solving a real problem for a real team.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
0–3 years of professional experience in a technical or engineering role.
Solid coding skills in Python, with comfort building ETL pipelines and working with complex data structures; exposure to Ansible or Go is a plus.
Basic familiarity with public cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Exposure to containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
Working understanding of SQL for data extraction and analysis; familiarity with Jupyter notebooks is a plus.
Interest in or exposure to agentic AI workflows and applying them to real-world engineering problems is a plus.
Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, with a desire to work in a customer-facing environment.
General awareness of networking concepts (e.g., Data Center, WAN, DNS/DHCP) — deeper expertise can be developed on the job.
Eagerness to learn, a self-starter attitude, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
