What the job involves
- We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineering Intern, to help our SRE team build the future of Pigment’s infrastructurePigment provides a platform to process and analyze large sets of data (up to several hundred million rows and terabytes of data) for business planning needs, to hundreds of customers

- Secure high availability and redundancy of the Pigment platform
- Ensure that the platform’s performance and correctness are monitored accordingly
- Spread observability best practices across the engineering team
- Answer the challenges a growing engineering team meets every day: secure a short development loop, maintain our CI/CD pipelines, participate in the definition and implementation of our testing strategy (e2e tests, unit tests...), maintain a safe release process with a very high frequency (up to multiple releases a day)
- Accompany Pigment geographical expansion as the company grows and we sign clients overseas
- Work with our security team on the implementation of their roadmap when related to infrastructure and development pipelines (code repository, credentials management, ...)
- Continuously chase inefficiencies within our development practices and pipelines. Seek improvement and automation wherever possible. Drive change across the software engineering team
- You will join a team of 6 highly skilled SRE and Software engineers, to build the next step of Pigment’s infrastructure

- Terraform: All our infrastructure is managed via Infrastructure As Code
- Golang to develop internal tooling
- Databases: PostgreSQL, Singlestore, and ElasticSearch
- Datadog for our observability (log, traces, metrics, security, performance monitoring)
- CI/CD: CircleCi, ArgoCD
- Others: Istio, Github, Docker, Temporal, RabbitMQ
- Backend: C# on .Net Core Linux and some Python for AI-related use cases
- Frontend: React/TypeScript
- Possibility to continue to progress within the team after your internship
Our take
In an ever-changing world, demand for more effective and accessible planning tools is rising. Pigment is meeting this demand with its business planning platform.
Pigment’s platform is disrupting a market that has long been dominated by generic spreadsheet programs like Excel. Its primary focus lies on forecasting and planning, enabling businesses to model and test outcomes. This is designed to improve the efficacy and reliability of decision making.
Taking on incumbents such as Excel, which boasts around one billion users, is no easy feat. However, Pigment’s innovative forecasting tools, ease-of-use and significant funding should give it a fighting chance in a market that is continuing to make space for disruptors. They have attracted impressive clients including Figma, PayFit, and Gong.
