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
- As a Software Engineer Intern, you will work on meaningful projects that directly impact our product, collaborating with experienced engineers and contributing to challenges at scale
- During your internship, you will have the opportunity to work on one of the following high-impact projects:
- Project overview in the Scheduling team:
- The Scheduling team is responsible for how recomputations are orchestrated in Pigment. We design and optimize the logic that determines when workflows need to run after a data change, and which computations should take priority depending on user activity. A key part of our work is minimizing unnecessary recomputations by understanding dependencies, so that only the data that truly needs to be updated is recalculated
- Exploring Alternative Execution Graph Serialization Protocols/Formats(Backend, C#)
- At Pigment, every data change initiates a cascade of recomputations, forming what we call an execution graph. This graph is continuously read and updated at a high frequency
- Explore and benchmark alternative serialization protocols and formats
- Evaluate performance improvements to reduce latency and memory overhead
- Gain hands-on experience in backend systems design and optimization in C#
- Search & Visualization of the Dependency Graph (Full-stack, C# + TypeScript)
- To determine which recomputations are required, Pigment maintains a dependency graph. To better understand and debug complex models, we need tools to explore this graph
- Build an intuitive, user-friendly interface for searching and visualizing dependency graphs
- Contribute to both backend (C#) and frontend (TypeScript/React)
- Learn how to design and implement scalable full-stack features
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.
