Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer About us

Select Science is a specialist scientific publisher and digital marketing business, connecting scientists with trusted information, expert content, and leading suppliers. You will join a collaborative team at an exciting point in our growth, with the chance to shape products that improve how scientists find, use, and trust digital content and essential products.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take a leading, hands‑on role as we deliver an ambitious product roadmap to evolve our digital product experience.

Alongside the continued development of our main website and our client reporting and analytics system, we are bringing new products to market with AI capability built in from the outset. This is a rare opportunity to deliver new products from an early stage rather than inherit them, in a small team where your technical judgement is essential to our success and will carry real weight.

You will own significant pieces of work end to end, from shaping the approach with the team, through implementation, to release and support in production. You will need to be pragmatic and comfortable with breadth, moving between a content‑heavy editorial platform, a data‑oriented analytics application, and greenfield product work.

We have an ambitious roadmap of new products for the scientific community, with AI integrated as a core part of the proposition. You will be involved from early definition through to launch, helping to make the architectural and technical choices that these products are built on.

Our client reporting and analytics system provides our commercial clients with visibility of their marketing campaign performance. Developments you will work on will integrate AI capability for our clients into this system and reimagine it for the agentic era. Work here is data- and interface-focused, presenting complex datasets clearly, concisely, and with flexibility according to the needs of our clients.

Our main website is a Next.js and React application hosted on Vercel, with content managed in our CMS. New product work spans new feature development to incorporate AI and streamlined customer journeys. Ongoing developments include continued SEO and GEO performance improvements, and the front‑end experience for a large audience of scientific professionals.

Our products sit within a wider ecosystem. You might also be building and maintaining integrations with Hub Spot, Salesforce and , among others, working with third‑party APIs, webhooks and authentication flows, and handling the failure modes that come with them as needed.

We are introducing Databricks as our unified data platform. You will need to understand how our applications interact with data from it and work effectively alongside that architecture as it also rapidly iterates.
