Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Pigment sits in a mature segment of SaaS—business planning and performance management—where product value is tightly coupled to data integrity, reliability, and cross-functional workflows. Featuring a senior backend engineer role here signals meaningful platform work: the kind that underpins multi-team usage across Finance, HR, and other functions, and typically demands careful design around scale, security, and operational stability.
For a long-term SaaS engineering career, this position offers leverage in the fundamentals that travel well between companies: building and evolving core services, operating production systems, and making pragmatic technology choices in a cloud-native environment. The stack listed (.NET on Linux, PostgreSQL, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, RabbitMQ) maps closely to modern SaaS infrastructure patterns, making the experience broadly applicable across B2B platforms.
This role is best suited to an engineer who prefers end-to-end ownership—from translating requirements into clean system design through to keeping services healthy in production. It will particularly fit someone who enjoys collaborating across front and back ends without rigid boundaries, and who values product understanding alongside strong software engineering craft.
