Job description

  • Serve as a technical resource on Selector’s operational analytics solution for networks, applications, and security workflows.
  • Take a hands-on role in the integration of Selector’s platform to meet complex customer requirements, contributing feature-level Python code and maintaining scripts and automation workflows on a daily basis.
  • Lead or co-lead deployments of Selector’s solution at customer sites, including gathering and translating data, workflow, and analytics requirements.
  • Ensure customers are thoroughly enabled for use, advanced understanding, and self-serve extensions of Selector’s capabilities.
  • Collaborate closely with the sales team and partners for pre-sales activities, including technical demos and solution scoping.
  • Own design, development, and execution plans for POC engagements and drive them through to successful completion.
  • Act as a voice of the customer internally - contributing well-defined product enhancement proposals and participating in customer review cycles.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to accelerate integration work, automate repetitive tasks, and improve the quality and speed of technical deliverables.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 3-6 years of professional experience in a solutions engineering, systems engineering, or technical customer-facing role.

  • Strong Python coding proficiency with a comfort level for writing and debugging code daily as a core part of the job - this is not an occasional scripting role.
  • Active use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or OpenAI Codex as part of your everyday development workflow.
  • Hands-on experience with Ansible and/or Go.
  • Working experience with public cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, and Azure.
  • Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and YAML-based configurations.
  • Proficiency in designing and executing SQL queries to extract, validate, and analyze data; comfortable working in Jupyter notebooks.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for varied audiences.
  • Meaningful experience with networking technologies (e.g., Data Center, WAN, SD-WAN, WiFi, DNS/DHCP, Load Balancing).
  • Familiarity with network analytics tooling and operational monitoring workflows.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously and drive projects to completion.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for customer-facing work - you should be energized by working directly with operators and engineering teams, not just the technical work itself.
