Senior Backend Software Engineer (UK)

The opportunity

We are looking for a backend software engineer to work on the query and formula computation engine that powers our solution, providing an "Excel on Steroids" for our client's financial data.

We provide powerful tools to our clients so they can have a better overview of their business by numbers. Clients model their data in our collaborative solution. The data is processed live through complex calculations and aggregations over millions of records.

That's a lot of performance and scalability challenges that are ahead of us, and that you certainly would enjoy solving with us!

Our Engineering team

Our Engineering team is responsible for developing our SaaS platform and building a comprehensive and user-friendly product. 

Pigment 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 backend and the frontend.

We 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.

Our engineering culture also values curiosity, humility, trust, ownership and team spirit.

Our technical stack is C# on .NET Core Linux, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, RabbitMQ and Circle CI.
