Company mission
To enable people and businesses to make better decisions.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for Senior software engineers with front-end expertise who can also be people managers of other software engineers, for a share of their time (up to 50%)
- We are also looking for engineers who understand the product and the customer's needs in detail and can suggest innovative ideas: in the end, it's all about delivering value to end users
- Experience as a software engineer working on a product in production - for managers specifically, this experience must be evaluated during the interview process at a “senior” level (that is, usually from 7-8 years)
- Experience in people management of at least 2-3 years
- Proven experience with front technologies such as TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, React, Vue, and Angular (among others)
- Great team spirit with a problem-solving attitude and user experience focus
- A good dose of humility and the willingness to grow (no matter your seniority!)
- A fluent level of English (French is not a must)
What the job involves
- Design and implement high-performance, scalable, and responsive user interfaces
- Optimize frontend performance to ensure smooth and efficient user experiences
- Tackle real-time challenges, enabling concurrent editing resilient to network disruptions, based on a single source of truth managed through efficient caching
- Translate functional requirements into elegant and simple designs, delivering high-quality code
- Understand and address the product and customer needs, suggesting innovative ideas to deliver maximum value to end users
- Coach up to six direct reports, providing guidance and support (usually every two weeks)
- Define expectations, collect and deliver feedback, and build career development plans using our skill leveling matrix
- Participate in performance-related decisions with other managers, including proposing and calibrating salary raises and handling under-performance remediation
- (Optional) Lead ad hoc projects to structure engineering efforts, such as organizing technical demos, leading All Hands meetings, or evolving our skill leveling matrix
- In the Pigment engineering team, people managers do not have the responsibility of a particular technical domain, as this is the role of technical leads: this way, we make sure career decisions and technical choices are independent of one another
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.
