Join Pigment: The AI Platform Redefining Business Planning

Pigment is the AI-powered business planning and performance management platform built for agility and scale. We connect people, data, and processes in one intuitive, feature-rich solution, empowering every team - from Finance to HR - to build, adapt, and align strategic plans in real time.

Founded in 2019, Pigment is one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies globally. Industry leaders like Unilever, Uber, Anthropic, Snowflake or Siemens, use Pigment daily to make more informed decisions and confidently navigate any scenario.

With a team of 700+ across Paris, London, New York, Toronto, San Francisco and Austin, we've raised nearly $400M from top-tier investors and were named a Visionary in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Financial Planning Software.

At Pigment, we take smart risks, celebrate bold ideas, and challenge the status quo - all while working as one team. If you're driven by innovation and ready to make an impact at scale, we’d love to hear from you.

We're hiring an Engineering Manager who wants to spend 80% of their time writing code, not attending management meetings.

About the role

Are you an experienced Software Engineer who loves writing code, solving complex technical problems and helping other engineers become better at what they do?

At Pigment, our Engineering Managers are engineers first.

Unlike traditional Engineering Manager positions, this role is designed for someone who wants to remain deeply involved in building software while taking on meaningful people-management responsibilities.

You'll spend approximately 80% of your time designing, coding and shipping production features, with the remaining 20% dedicated to coaching engineers, running regular 1:1s, providing feedback and supporting their development.

We're particularly interested in Senior Software Engineers who have naturally taken on coaching, mentoring or technical leadership responsibilities and are ready to develop further as people managers.

You don't necessarily need to have held an Engineering Manager title before. What matters most is your technical ability, your experience helping others grow and your motivation to combine engineering with people leadership.

You'll join Pigment's Reporting & Collaboration community, building sophisticated frontend experiences that help customers interact with complex data, configure workflows and make better business decisions.

What you'll do

  • Write, review, refactor and ship production code regularly using React, TypeScript and JavaScript.
  • Design and build sophisticated user interfaces for interacting with large datasets, including filtering, visualisation and complex configuration.
  • Take ownership of engineering tasks and features from technical design through implementation, testing and deployment.
  • Solve challenging problems involving frontend performance, scalability, state management and user experience.
  • Participate in technical discussions, code reviews, debugging and architectural decisions.
  • Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, Tech Leads and Software Engineers to deliver high-quality features.
  • Contribute to AI-powered product experiences and use modern development tools where appropriate.
  • Maintain the same technical expectations and engineering standards as our Senior Software Engineers.
  • Coach and mentor engineers, sharing technical knowledge and helping them improve their problem-solving abilities.
  • Hold regular 1:1 meetings with your direct reports to discuss progress, challenges and career development.
  • Provide constructive feedback, recognise achievements and support individual development plans.
  • Help engineers establish clear goals and understand the skills required to progress.
  • Support performance reviews and development discussions, including more challenging conversations when necessary.
  • Work alongside Tech Leads to understand engineers' technical contributions and development needs.
  • Help foster a collaborative engineering culture where people continuously learn from one another.

Who we're looking for

  • You have substantial professional software-engineering experience and are technically operating at a strong Senior Engineer level.
  • You're currently hands-on with production code and want coding to remain the majority of your working week.
  • You have strong frontend development experience with React, TypeScript and JavaScript.
  • You've built complex, scalable applications, ideally within B2B SaaS, enterprise software, analytics or data-intensive environments.
  • You have experience coaching, mentoring or supporting other engineers through code reviews, pairing, technical discussions or structured feedback.
  • You enjoy sharing knowledge and helping other engineers improve.
  • You're interested in taking ownership of 1:1s, career development and people-management responsibilities, or already have experience doing so.
  • You're comfortable solving complex technical challenges independently while collaborating with others.
  • You care about product quality, engineering standards and delivering meaningful value to customers.
  • You're fluent in English. French is not required.

Our interview process

Is this role right for you?

  • You enjoy writing code more than spending your day in management meetings.
  • You're a strong Senior Engineer who wants to help others grow.
  • You want to develop people-management skills without moving away from engineering.
  • You enjoy the challenge of balancing meaningful individual contributions with coaching responsibilities.
  • You're looking to move away from hands-on software development.
  • You prefer managing delivery, budgets and team strategy over building software.
  • You haven't written production code regularly for some time.
  • You're looking for a traditional Engineering Manager position where engineering work is mainly delegated to others.

What you will get

  • Competitive salary
  • Equity
  • The best health insurance with Alan Blue is 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

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
