Location<\/strong><\/td>\n| London<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Pigment is hiring a Senior SRE to help shape the infrastructure behind its AI-driven business planning and performance management platform. The product is built to support fast, data-heavy decision-making at scale, bringing together people, data, and processes so teams across the business can plan, adapt, and stay aligned in real time. The platform handles very large and frequently changing datasets, including client models that can reach billions of rows, so the infrastructure must be designed for performance, resilience, and growth.<\/p>\n What you will do<\/h3>\n\n- Design and implement the next generation of infrastructure for a platform that must stay fast, reliable, and scalable as usage grows.<\/li>\n
- Build automation around infrastructure so capacity can expand or contract according to demand without manual overhead.<\/li>\n
- Strengthen availability and fault tolerance by ensuring redundancy and robust platform design.<\/li>\n
- Set up and improve monitoring for both system performance and functional correctness, and help embed observability practices across engineering.<\/li>\n
- Join incident response efforts and contribute to restoring service and learning from production issues.<\/li>\n
- Support the company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s international expansion by helping infrastructure adapt as Pigment serves customers in more regions.<\/li>\n
- Work alongside the security team on infrastructure and delivery-pipeline initiatives, including repository management and credential-related controls.<\/li>\n
- Look for friction and waste in development workflows and deployment pipelines, then remove it through automation and better engineering practices.<\/li>\n
- Help influence improvements across the software engineering organization, not just within the SRE function.<\/li>\n
- Contribute to software development work as part of the role, collaborating closely with application engineers rather than operating as a separate infrastructure-only group.<\/li>\n
- Participate as a member of the SRE team while also engaging with the wider engineering team that builds and runs the SaaS product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
About the engineering environment<\/h3>\nThe engineering organization is responsible for building Pigment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s SaaS platform and delivering a product that is both powerful and easy to use. Engineers are involved throughout the full development lifecycle, from design and coding through to keeping production healthy. The team does not enforce a rigid split between infrastructure, backend, and frontend work; instead, it values practical collaboration and choosing the right tools for the problem at hand.<\/p>\n The culture emphasizes user focus, pragmatism, curiosity, humility, trust, ownership, and team spirit. The company expects engineers to understand the strengths and limits of the technologies they use and to make sensible trade-offs in service of the product and its users.<\/p>\n Technology stack<\/h3>\n\n- Infrastructure runs primarily on Kubernetes through GKE on Google Cloud Platform, with some PostgreSQL hosts on Google Cloud SQL.<\/li>\n
- Infrastructure is managed as code with Terraform, covering items such as GKE clusters, Cloud SQL databases, GCS buckets, and IAM permissions.<\/li>\n
- Data stores and messaging systems include PostgreSQL, SingleStore, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, and Temporal.io.<\/li>\n
- Supporting tools include ArgoCD, Istio, Vault, GitHub, and Docker for local development.<\/li>\n
- Backend services are built as microservices in C# ASP.NET Core 8 and Golang, running on Linux.<\/li>\n
- The frontend uses React and TypeScript, with Jest, Cypress, and Vite in the toolchain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What Pigment is looking for<\/h3>\nPigment is less interested in a single cloud vendor or one specific automation framework than in strong engineering ability. The ideal candidate can take product requirements and turn them into a simple, elegant architecture that performs well in production. The company also wants someone who understands the product and customer needs deeply enough to suggest thoughtful improvements that create real value for end users.<\/p>\n \n- Background as both a software engineer and a DevOps or SRE practitioner.<\/li>\n
- Experience working with container orchestration, with Kubernetes considered a strong advantage.<\/li>\n
- Experience using a public cloud platform, especially Google Cloud Platform.<\/li>\n
- Practical software development experience in one or more of the following: C#, Java, C++, Golang, Rust, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby.<\/li>\n
- Experience with observability tooling such as Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, or Jaeger.<\/li>\n
- Strong collaboration skills and a constructive, solution-oriented mindset.<\/li>\n
- Humility and a desire to keep learning and improving, regardless of level of seniority.<\/li>\n
- Excellent English fluency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Working arrangement and compensation<\/h3>\nThis is a full-time hybrid position based in Paris or London. The advertised salary range is \u00e2\u0082\u00ac75,000 to \u00e2\u0082\u00ac130,000 per year.<\/p>\n Additional hiring information<\/h3>\nPigment says it may run background checks during hiring, in line with the laws that apply in the countries where it operates. Any checks would be carried out legally before a formal contract is signed, with candidate consent where required, and handled confidentially.<\/p>\n The company describes itself as an equal opportunity employer and says it is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where people feel valued and included. It also notes that it may use AI tools to assist with parts of recruitment, such as reviewing applications, analyzing CVs, or checking for inconsistencies, but final hiring decisions are made by people.<\/p>\n\n Degree Requirement:<\/strong> Not Specified<\/p>\nVisa Sponsorship May be<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_promoted":"","_job_location":"London","_application":"https:\/\/jobs.lever.co\/pigment\/e95eaef9-a07b-4dc8-af33-0b59fd242ac9","_company_name":"Pigment","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"GBP","_job_salary_unit":"yearly"},"job-types":[38],"class_list":["post-3424","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","job-type-experienced"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/3424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-types?post=3424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
