Software Engineering Manager (Hands-On, Frontend)
Quick overview
Job description
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.
