Key skills for this role
With a growing customer base in AMER, building our engineering presence is a strategic priority. Our vision is ONE team. Engineers across France, UK, Canada (and more locations in the future) belong to interconnected hubs that share the same project opportunities, individual growth paths, and leadership. In addition, we create a local management structure to conciliate market knowledge, closeness to individual people needs, and cultural championship across regions.
Develop our product alongside talented engineers locally and overseas, in the same distributed team
Take ownership of the reporting lines within a community , managing engineers located across Europe and North America
Ensure strong collaboration and alignment for teams across France, UK and Canada/US
Act as a culture carrier for Pigment in the AMER region and particularly the Toronto office, fostering our values, ways of working, and engineering standards
Support the growth, performance, and engagement of engineers bringing local context to the international setup
More than expertise in a specific language or framework, we are looking for strong software engineering fundamentals :
Ability to translate functional requirements into simple, scalable, and elegant designs
Deliver high-quality, production-ready code
Understand product and customer needs deeply, and contribute ideas that maximize user value
You will remain close to the code to support technical credibility and team ramp-up.
All engineers follow the philosophy of “you build it, you run it”. Teams are in charge of developing functionality according to our production standards, of maintaining operational conditions (e.g. alerting, observability), and of providing incident response upon technical support escalation.
At Pigment, Engineering Managers do not own a specific technical domain, this responsibility lies with Team Leads. This ensures independence between technical decisions and people management.
