Company mission
To enable people and businesses to make better decisions.
Role
Who you are
- 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
- Experiences as a software engineer working on a product in production
- 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!)
What the job involves
- We are looking for a backend software engineer to work on the query and formula computation engine that powers our solution, providing an "Excel on Steroids" for our client's financial data
- 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 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
- Our technical stack is C# on .NET Core Linux, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, RabbitMQ and Circle CI

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.
