## Job description

The Opportunity

We are looking for Senior software engineers with front-end expertise who can also be people managers of other software engineers, for a share of their time (up to 50%).

On the engineering part:

- Design and implement high-performance, scalable, and responsive user interfaces.
- Optimize frontend performance to ensure smooth and efficient user experiences.
- Tackle real-time challenges, enabling concurrent editing resilient to network disruptions, based on a single source of truth managed through efficient caching.
- Translate functional requirements into elegant and simple designs, delivering high-quality code.
- Understand and address the product and customer needs, suggesting innovative ideas to deliver maximum value to end users.
- 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.

On the people management part, here is what it entails:

- Coach up to six direct reports, providing guidance and support (usually every two weeks).
- Define expectations, collect and deliver feedback, and build career development plans using our skill leveling matrix.
- Participate in performance-related decisions with other managers, including proposing and calibrating salary raises and handling under-performance remediation.
(Optional) Lead ad hoc projects to structure engineering efforts, such as organizing technical demos, leading - All Hands meetings, or evolving our skill leveling matrix.

In the Pigment engineering team, people managers do not have the responsibility of a particular technical domain, as this is the role of technical leads: this way, we make sure career decisions and technical choices are independent of one another.

If you're curious about the kind of challenges our engineering team tackles, our culture, and our organization, we invite you to explore our Tech Blog!

- Experience as a software engineer working on a product in production - for managers specifically, this experience must be evaluated during the interview process at a “senior” level (that is, usually from 7-8 years).
- Experience in people management of at least 2-3 years.
- Proven experience with front technologies such as TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, React, Vue, and Angular (among others).
- Great team spirit with a problem-solving attitude and user experience focus
- A good dose of humility and the willingness to grow (no matter your seniority!).

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

**Live in Pigment’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
