round in 2022, with Philip Chopin joining Sequoia’s Luciana Lixandru on our
board.
We were founded in Switzerland in 2017 and today we operate globally from
offices in Zurich and London. We encourage diversity and are an international
team coming from 26 different countries and speaking 25 different languages.
About the role
As a Mid-level Software Engineer at Ledgy, you’ll build reliable, scalable
product experiences that help companies manage their equity with confidence.
You’ll work closely with experienced engineers, product managers, and designers
to turn complex equity workflows into clear, automated, user-friendly software.
This role is a strong fit if you’re ready to take ownership of well-scoped
projects, grow your technical judgement, and contribute across the stack while
learning from senior peers.
Location: We hire remotely across the UK, Spain, Germany, Poland, and Romania.
For candidates based in London, we use a hybrid model with 2 days in the office
per week.
Teams we are hiring for:
• Core Equity — Owns the foundational logic that powers Ledgy’s equity engine.
Every equity-related event — such as issuing shares, creating new pools, or
adjusting ownership — generates transactions. This team defines and maintains
the transaction logic, data model, and core domain behaviour that ensure
Ledgy’s platform remains accurate, scalable, and compliant. They also enable
employees to sell their shares seamlessly once vested.
• Workflows & Automation — Focuses on automating complex equity workflows and
integrating with third-party services, including the trading exchange. The
team builds systems that help company admins efficiently onboard and offboard
employees, automate equity grants and terminations.
• Reporting — Transforms Ledgy’s core equity data into financial, operational,
and compliance reports. The team manages large, complex datasets and ensures
reporting is accurate, performant, and reliable across jurisdictions and
company structures. Their work powers the insights companies and auditors
rely on for decision-making and transparency.
• Tax — Ensures taxes are correctly reflected throughout equity operations,
especially moments such as exercising, selling, mobility, and other taxable
events. As a future team, Tax will build end-to-end product capabilities
across the stack, helping customers manage complex tax and compliance
requirements accurately across jurisdictions.
You will thrive in the role if you
• You have 3+ years of experience working as a Software Engineer
• You are comfortable building and shipping production-quality features across
the stack
• You enjoy learning complex domains and turning them into simple, maintainable
product experiences
• You care about clean, tested, readable code and thoughtful collaboration
• You are curious about equity, financial workflows, and their real-world
impact on companies and employees
• You’re excited to grow your technical judgement through code reviews,
pairing, and architecture discussions
• You take ownership of your work while asking for input early when trade-offs
are unclear
