We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer profile who will design and implement the Pigment infrastructure for tomorrow. Pigment is a technically challenging platform. It calculates and synchronizes large datasets that must be updated in real-time. Data comes from client models that can be up to billions of rows. This data can be pivoted, transformed, and aggregated on-demand through our formula engine while rendering live on our front end.

Here are the challenges to be tackled as a Senior Platform Engineer:

In addition to Platform responsibilities, we expect you to contribute to software development activities. This is not limited to scripting and automations - we expect to you to be fully capable of reading and writing code. We believe Senior Platform Engineers should collaborate closely with software engineers, fostering a shared understanding of day-to-day challenges, rather than operating in separate teams. Last but not least, you will not be alone! You will be part of an SRE team.

Our Engineering team

Our Engineering team is responsible for developing our SaaS platform and building a comprehensive and user-friendly product.

Pigment engineers participate in the entire application development lifecycle, focusing on design, coding, and keeping the production platform up and running. They can be specialized, but there is no strict separation between the infrastructure, backend, and the frontend.

We value user-centricity and pragmatism: we choose the most relevant tools for the problem we have to solve, understanding the strengths and constraints of each technology.

Our engineering culture also values curiosity, humility, trust, ownership and team spirit.

Technical stack:

More than knowledge of a specific cloud provider, language, or automation framework, we are looking for great engineering skills: the ability to translate product requirements into an elegant and simple architecture, and then make sure our product runs well on it.
