Description du poste

Senior SRE – Pigment

We are looking for a Senior SRE profile who will design and implement Pigment’s infrastructure for tomorrow. Pigment is a technically challenging platform that calculates and synchronizes large datasets that must be updated in real‑time. Data comes from client models that can be up to billions of rows, is pivoted, transformed, and aggregated on demand through our formula engine while rendering live on our front end.

Responsibilities

• Define and build the infrastructure needed to answer our performance challenges, automate it, and make it scalable. In particular, ensure that the infrastructure scales in and out according to platform usage.
• Secure high availability and redundancy of the Pigment platform.
• Ensure that the platform’s performance and correctness are monitored accordingly, spreading observability best practices across the engineering team.
• Participate in incident response.
• 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, etc.).
• Continuously chase inefficiencies within our development practices and pipelines, seeking improvement and automation wherever possible and driving change across the software engineering team.

In addition to SRE responsibilities, we expect you to contribute to software development activities. We believe SRE engineers should collaborate closely with software engineers, fostering a shared understanding of day‑to‑day challenges rather than operating in separate teams. You will be part of an SRE team.

Technical Stack

• Kubernetes (GKE, hosted on Google Cloud Platform): hosting all our infrastructure components except some PostgreSQL hosts, hosted on Google Cloud SQL.
• Terraform: all our infrastructure is managed via infrastructure as code (creation of GKE clusters, Google Cloud SQL databases, GCS buckets, IAM permissions...).
• Databases: PostgreSQL (CloudSQL and CloudNativePG), SingleStore, ElasticSearch.
• RabbitMQ: queuing system.
• Temporal.io: workflow automation platform.
• Others: ArgoCD, Istio, Vault, GitHub, Docker (for local development).
• Backend: Microservices written in C# ASP.NET Core 8 (running exclusively on Linux) & Golang.
• Frontend: React + TypeScript, Jest, Cypress, Vite.

Who You Are

More than knowledge of a specific cloud provider, language, or automation framework, we are looking for great engineering skills: the ability to translate product requirements into an elegant and simple architecture, and then make sure our product runs well on it. We also look 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.

Qualifications

• Experience as a software engineer and DevOps / SRE.
• Experience with a container orchestration platform (Kubernetes is a plus).
• Experience with a public cloud provider; GCP is a plus.
• Proven experience in software development with languages such as C#, Java, C++, Golang, Rust, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby (this list is not exhaustive).
• Experience with observability tools (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, Jaeger).
• Great team spirit with a problem‑solving attitude.
• A good dose of humility and the willingness to grow (no matter your seniority).
• Fluency in English.
