At SEL, we have ambitious goals for making electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical. When open-source or off-the-shelf tools don't meet the unique needs of our hardware and software engineers, we will call on you to rapidly create and scale high-quality, custom solutions in a way that unifies stubbornly diverse processes. As a full-stack developer of internal productivity tools, you'll be responsible for planning, verification, and maintenance, as well as collaborating with partners in UX, IT, and product ownership. We need a generalist, not a specialist, so the more and varied systems you've built with your own hands, the better.

A typical day will include:

• Understanding what slows down our engineers.
• Inventing tools to help them work better and faster.
• Designing, implementing, and testing software systems.
• Teaching users how to get the most out of our custom tools.
• Holding yourself accountable for customer productivity outcomes.

This job might be for you if you:

• Focus on delivering customer-centric solutions.
• Enjoy solving problems in ways just now possible.
• Come up with transformative ideas to be successful.
• Take on tough challenges with a sense of urgency.
• Make clear promises and exceed expectations.
• Deal comfortably with uncertainty and change.
• Learn efficiently when faced with unfamiliar tasks.
• Can make exceptional software tools very quickly.

What sets this opportunity apart?

You will be joining and shaping a new productivity tools team while working alongside SEL innovators and experts inventing the future of electric power.

We prefer someone who has experience with:

• Electrical engineering and power systems
• Creating things fast using AI coding assistants
• Python or other scripting languages
• Database design and administration
• Open-source software development
• Mentoring associate engineers
