Job description

Join to apply for the Engineering Manager role at Pigment.

Since our founding in 2019, Pigment has become one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the world today. Our product, a highly efficient Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) platform is helping companies achieve their financial goals by quickly responding to dynamic factors in their respective markets including Tech, Retail, CPG & Financial Services.

In less than 5 years, Pigment has grown to over 350 employees across offices in New York, Toronto, London & Paris and attracted a total of $393M in investment from some of the top Venture Capital firms globally.

We serve companies including Unilever, Deliveroo, Gong and Brex to name a few!

The Opportunity

We are looking for senior software engineers who can also be people managers of other software engineers, for a share of their time (up to 50%).

On the software engineering part:

More than knowledge of a specific language or framework, we are looking for great software engineering skills:

• ability to translate functional requirements into an elegant and simple design, and then deliver the code.
• 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.

On the people management part, here is what it entails:

• coaching up to 6 direct reports (usually every 2 weeks)
• defining expectations, collecting and delivering feedback
• building career development plans (we have a skill leveling matrix)
• participating in performance-related decisions with other managers (ex: proposing and calibrating salary raises), including under-performance remediation
• (optional) leading ad hoc projects with other managers to structure engineering (ex: organize technical demos, animate an All Hands, lead evolutions to 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 from one another.

Who you are

• 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 designing object-oriented software with languages such as C#, Java, C++, Golang, Rust, Python or Ruby (this list is not exhaustive).
• Great team spirit with a problem-solving attitude.
• 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 you will get

• Equity
• The best health insurance with Alan Blue entirely free for you and your family
• Trust and flexible working hours
• Brand new offices in the heart of Paris, London, New-York and, Toronto
• Remote-friendly environment

Seniority level
