Pigment is a technically challenging platform. It calculates and synchronizes large datasets that must be updated in real-time. Data comes from client models that can be up to billions of rows. This data can be pivoted, transformed, and aggregated on-demand through our formula engine while rendering live on our front end.\nHere are the challenges to be tackled as an SRE :\nDefine and build the infrastructure needed to answer our performance challenges, automate it, and make it scalable. In particular, ensure that the infrastructure scales in and out according to the platform usage.\nSecure high availability and redundancy of the Pigment platform.\nEnsure that the platform’s performance and correctness are monitored accordingly, spread observability best practices across the engineering team.\nParticipate in incident response.\nAccompany Pigment geographical expansion as the company grows and we sign clients overseas.\nWork with our security team on the implementation of their roadmap when related to infrastructure and development pipelines (code repository, credentials management, ...)\nContinuously chase inefficiencies within our development practices and pipelines. Seek improvement and automation wherever possible. Drive change across the software engineering team.\nIn addition to SRE responsibilities, we expect you to contribute to software development activities. We believe SRE engineers should collaborate closely with software engineers, fostering a shared understanding of day-to-day challenges, rather than operating in separate teams. Last but not least, you will not be alone! You will be part of an SRE team.\nOur Engineering team\nOur Engineering team is responsible for developing our SaaS platform and building a comprehensive and user-friendly product.\nPigment engineers participate in the entire application development lifecycle, focusing on design, coding, and keeping the production platform up and running. They can be specialized, but there is no strict separation between the infrastructure, backend, and the frontend.\nWe value user-centricity and pragmatism: we choose the most relevant tools for the problem we have to solve, understanding the strengths and constraints of each technology.\nOur engineering culture also values curiosity, humility, trust, ownership and team spirit.\nTechnical stack:\nKubernetes (GKE, hosted on Google Cloud Platform): hosting all our infrastructure components except some PostgreSQL hosts, hosted on Google Cloud SQL\nTerraform: all our infrastructure is managed via this infrastructure as code (creation of GKE clusters, Google Cloud SQL databases, GCS buckets, IAM permissions...)\nDatabases: PostgreSQL (CloudSQL and CloudNativePG), SingleStore, ElasticSearch\nRabbitMQ: queuing system\nTemporal.io: workflow automation platform\nOthers: ArgoCD, Istio, Vault, Github, Docker (for local development)\nBackend: Microservices written in C# ASP.NET Core 8 (running exclusively on Linux) & Golang\nFrontend: React + Typescript, Jest, Cypress, Vite...\nWho you are\nMore than knowledge of a specific cloud provider, language, or automation framework, we are looking for great engineering skills: the ability to translate product requirements into an elegant and simple architecture, and then make sure our product runs well on it.\nWe 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.\nIn any case, you have:\nExperience as a software engineer & DevOps / SRE\nExperience with a container orchestration platform (Kubernetes is a plus)\nExperience with a public cloud provider, GCP is a plus\nProven experience in software developments with languages such as C#, Java, C++, Golang, Rust, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby (this list is not exhaustive).\nExperience with observability tools (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, Jaeger...)\nGreat team spirit with a problem-solving attitude.\nA good dose of humility and the willingness to grow (no matter your seniority!).\nFluency in
