Role
Who you are
- If you are passionate about innovation and wish to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry, we would love to hear from you!
What the job involves
- 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 infrastructure, backend, and frontend
- We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineering Intern to help our SRE team build the future of Pigment’s infrastructure
- Pigment 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
- These datasets can be pivoted, transformed, and aggregated on-demand thanks to Pigment’s formula engine, rendering them in real time in our frontend
- CI/CD Evolution: Investigate and benchmark alternative CI platforms (e.g. , Dagger, GitLab CI, BuildKite) to replace CircleCI, focusing on developer experience, speed, cost efficiency, and security
- Expanding our self-hosted CI infrastructure to multiple Google Cloud Platform regions: In order make it possible for Pigment engineers to end-to-end tests their features, we’re running a large suite of end-to-end tests on every relevant change
- For that, we create thousands of short-lived ( ~15m) virtual machines every day
- In order to keep the costs low, we’re relying on spot instances
- However, these are not always available in the single region in which we host our CI infrastructure
- The goal of the internship would be to make that CI infrastructure span multiple GCP regions, and have each CI run pick the cheapest region
- Infrastructure Cost Optimization: Experiment with approaches to reduce infrastructure costs, such as running stateless workloads on spot instances in Kubernetes and improving binpacking efficiency on our Kubernetes nodes
- Vault for Secrets Management: Improve our Vault setup (e.g. , disaster recovery) and design a seamless developer experience for managing all application secrets securely
- Operating Postgres at Scale: Support the migration of Postgres databases from Cloud SQL to CNPG, with a focus on: Reliability and scalability, Zero-downtime upgrades, Running Postgres in Kubernetes with operators, Implementing Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)
- You’ll be working closely with multiple members of the SRE team and the broader R&D organization, gaining hands-on experience with the real challenges of scaling infrastructure for a fast-growing SaaS product
- Infrastructure & Orchestration: Kubernetes (GKE), Istio, Terraform, ArgoCD
- Languages & Tooling: Golang, C# on .Net Core Linux, Python (for AI use cases), React/TypeScript
- Data: PostgreSQL, Singlestore, ElasticSearch
- Observability: Datadog (logs, traces, metrics, security, performance monitoring)
- Other tools: GitHub, Docker, Temporal, RabbitMQ, CircleCI, Vault
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.
