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.

We conduct background checks as part of our hiring process, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in the countries where we operate. This may include verification of employment history, education, and, where legally permitted, criminal records. Any checks will be conducted lawfully prior to formal employment contracts being signed, with candidate consent, and information will be treated confidentially. Pigment is an equal opportunity employer. We believe diversity is a strength and fosters innovation. We are committed to enabling everyone to feel included and valued at the workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, color, family, gender identity, marital status, national origin, physical or mental disability, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, social origin, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws. We may process your personal data in accordance with our HR Data Protection Notice. **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. ## More jobs like this - WA [Engineering Manager, Experiment Platform, Robot Software](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-experiment-platform-robot-software-at-wayve-8b666d6e7156) Wayve · London, United Kingdom · last week - SA [Software Engineering Manager, Billing & Integrations](https://gurify.com/job/software-engineering-manager-billing-integrations-at-sanity-7046da777719) Sanity · London, United Kingdom · 3 weeks ago - BJ [Engineering Manager - Stock Trading App](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-stock-trading-app-at-bjak-8a6ddcf0f548) Bjak · United Kingdom · last week - SC [Frontier Agent Engineering Manager, Enterprise](https://gurify.com/job/frontier-agent-engineering-manager-enterprise-at-scaleai-6c13730f94ad) Scaleai · London, United Kingdom · last week - FI [Engineering Manager – Commercial Technology](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-commercial-technology-at-financialtimes33-683f9bdd206a) Financialtimes33 · London · last week - KE [Engineering Manager](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-at-kernel-a9b86d578dd1) Kernel · London · last week ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Software Engineering Manager (Hands-On, Frontend)","description":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin Pigment: The AI Platform Redefining Business Planning\u003Cbr /\u003E\u0026#160;\u003Cbr /\u003EPigment is the AI-powered business planning and performance management platform built for agility and scale.
