Our mission matters

Culturally, we tie our work into our core company values and mission. Our software engineers support critical infrastructure through the design, testing, and implementation of software ecosystems. But the purpose-driven work doesn’t just power homes, businesses, and hospitals—it helps protect against ransomware attacks and delivers clean drinking water to regions around the globe.
We invest in you
Aside from offering competitive compensation packages, all SEL employees in the United States qualify for our employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) after one year of employment. As a 100 percent employee-owned company, SEL invests in the health, wellbeing, and happiness of all its employees. In addition to comprehensive medical and dental packages for employees and their families, we offer on-campus health clinics, childcare, and wellness facilities; a monthly education stipend; and more.
The longevity of our employees matters to us. Our software engineering teams set realistic workload expectations that encourage work-life balance. We’re also proud to support our employees’ leadership and participation in groups like Women in STEM (WiSTEM) and The National Society for Black Engineers (NSBE), among others.
Steer your career
As the need for electricity grows exponentially, so does our growth mindset. We empower our employees with the tools—like education, training, and mentorships—to influence the direction of their career. Whether you join us at the associate or manager level, there’s ample opportunity to lead people and/or initiatives at SEL.
We value your time
We appreciate the dignity of work as a significant part of our lives, and we value life away from work as well. SEL employee owners achieve fulfilling careers while enjoying the benefits of where they live—like outdoor recreation or local culture and events—and pursuing their own education and personal development. Paid time off, separate from ten company holidays each year, begins to accrue on the first day of employment, ensuring we all have ample time to rest, recharge, and refocus when we need to.
