**The Opportunity**

As a **Software Engineer Intern**, you will work on meaningful projects that directly impact our product, collaborating with experienced engineers and contributing to challenges at scale. During your internship, you will have the opportunity to work on one of the following high-impact projects:
Project overview in the Scheduling team:

- The Scheduling team is responsible for how recomputations are orchestrated in Pigment. We design and optimize the logic that determines when workflows need to run after a data change, and which computations should take priority depending on user activity. A key part of our work is minimizing unnecessary recomputations by understanding dependencies, so that only the data that truly needs to be updated is recalculated._

**_
Exploring Alternative Execution Graph Serialization Protocols/Formats_**_(Backend, C#)_

At Pigment, every data change initiates a cascade of recomputations, forming what we call an **execution graph**. This graph is continuously read and updated at a high frequency.

Explore and benchmark alternative serialization protocols and formats.

Evaluate performance improvements to reduce latency and memory overhead.

Gain hands-on experience in backend systems design and optimization in C#.

**_
Search & Visualization of the Dependency Graph_**_ (Full-stack, C# + TypeScript)_

To determine which recomputations are required, Pigment maintains a **dependency graph**. To better understand and debug complex models, we need tools to explore this graph.

Build an intuitive, user-friendly interface for searching and visualizing dependency graphs.

Contribute to both backend (C#) and frontend (TypeScript/React).

Learn how to design and implement scalable full-stack features.

**Technical Stack**

**Languages & Frameworks**: C# (.NET Core Linux), React, TypeScript

**Databases**: PostgreSQL

**Infrastructure**: Google Cloud Platform, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, RabbitMQ

**CI/CD**: CircleCI

We don’t expect you to know them all. What matters most is strong software engineering skills: the ability to translate requirements into simple and elegant designs and deliver robust code.
