On the engineering part:
- Design and implement high-performance, scalable, and responsive user interfaces
- Optimize frontend performance to ensure smooth and efficient user experiences
- Tackle real-time challenges, enabling concurrent editing resilient to network disruptions, based on a single source of truth managed through efficient caching
- Translate functional requirements into elegant and simple designs, delivering high-quality code
- Understand and address the product and customer needs, suggesting innovative ideas to deliver maximum value to end users
- We 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
On the people management part, here is what it entails:
- Coach up to six direct reports, providing guidance and support (usually every two weeks)
- Define expectations, collect and deliver feedback, and build career development plans using our skill leveling matrix
- Participate in performance-related decisions with other managers, including proposing and calibrating salary raises and handling under-performance remediation
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
(Optional) Lead ad hoc projects to structure engineering efforts, such as organizing technical demos, leading - All Hands meetings, or evolving our skill leveling matrix.
In the Pigment engineering team, people managers do not have the responsibility of a particular technical domain, as this is the role of technical leads: this way we make sure career decisions and technical choices are independent of one another.
