As Pigment continues to grow internationally, we are opening a

Tech Hub in North America .

We are looking for an

Engineering Manager based in our Toronto office

who will play a key role in developing our AMER engineering hub, working across distributed teams in Europe (France and UK).

This role is both

people-focused

and

hands-on , with up to

50% of time spent on software engineering , depending on team needs and maturity.

Our vision for the AMER Tech Hub 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.

Your Mission

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

On the Software Engineering Side 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.

On the People Management Side 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.

Engineering Managers are distributed inside a group of teams that we call Community, and report alongside Tech Leads to the Engineering Manager Lead of that Community. Tech Leads and Engineering Managers work hand-in-hand to align team delivery and people management.

As an Engineering Manager, you will:

Hire, coach and manage both Europe and North America-based software engineers (primarily in Toronto, and potentially remote in Canada or in the US in the future)

Define clear expectations, provide continuous feedback, and support performance

Build and follow

career development plans

using our skill leveling matrix

Participate in performance and compensation discussions with other managers (including under-performance remediation when needed)

Help onboard and ramp up new hires in a fast-growing environment

Lead cross-team or cross-location initiatives to improve engineering practices, culture, or processes

Engage in hiring, branding, and developing our local office culture
