Our Engineering team
Our Engineering team is responsible for developing our SaaS platform and building a comprehensive and user-friendly product. Pigment engineers participate in the entire application development lifecycle, focusing on design, coding, and keeping the production platform up and running. They can be specialized, but there is no strict separation between infrastructure, backend, and frontend.
We value user-centricity and pragmatism: we choose the most relevant tools for the problem we have to solve, understanding the strengths and constraints of each technology. Our engineering culture also values curiosity, humility, trust, ownership, and team spirit.

As a Data Scientist Intern, you will help us push the boundaries of what AI can do inside Pigment, focusing on how our AI Modeler builds and maintains planning models. You’ll work closely with our AI engineering and data science teams to design, test, and evaluate LLM-based systems that turn loosely structured inputs into reliable, working Pigment models and formulas.
Project Overview: Making Pigment’s AI Modeler Smarter
Depending on your profile and interests, you will focus on one of these topics:
1. Formula Writing from Specifications
Have the Modeler write a specification of a formula (what it should do, and the tests it must pass), then build a small Formula Writer model that produces a correct formula from it.
2. Building Models from External Documents
Turn amorphous inputs (long PDFs, call transcripts, existing applications, templates) into structured Pigment applications: write the tests first, then iterate on a DSL representation until they pass.
3. Building Models from Databases
Given an existing database, determine which blocks and transformations to create to make sense of the data and integrate it as a Pigment model.
As an intern, you will:

Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Walk me through how you've used LangGraph in your day-to-day work.
- What are the limits of Hugging Face that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
- What's a project where you used MLflow hands-on?
- Walk me through how you've used Weights And Biases in your day-to-day work.
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI agents, LangGraph, Hugging Face, MLflow, and Weights And Biases. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
