Our Engineering team

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 the infrastructure, backend, and the frontend. We value user-centricity and pragmatism: we choose the most relevant tools for the problem we have to solve, understanding the strengths and constraints of each technology. Our engineering culture also values curiosity, humility, trust, ownership and team spirit.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineering Intern, to help our SRE team build the future of Pigment’s infrastructurePigment 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.

As an SRE intern at Pigment, you will work on some of the challenges tackled by the SRE team:

- Define and build the infrastructure needed to answer our performance challenges, fully automate it, and make it scalable. In particular, ensure that the infrastructure scales in and out according to the platform usage.

- Secure high availability and redundancy of the Pigment platform.

- Ensure that the platform’s performance and correctness are monitored accordingly.

- Spread observability best practices across the engineering team.

- Answer the challenges a growing engineering team meets every day: secure a short development loop, maintain our CI/CD pipelines, participate in the definition and implementation of our testing strategy (e2e tests, unit tests...), maintain a safe release process with a very high frequency (up to multiple releases a day).

- 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, ...)

- Continuously chase inefficiencies within our development practices and pipelines. Seek improvement and automation wherever possible. Drive change across the software engineering team.

You will join a team of 6 highly skilled SRE and Software engineers, to build the next step of Pigment’s infrastructure.
