Staff/Senior Software Engineer

At Ledgy, we’re on a mission to make Europe a powerhouse of entrepreneurship by building a modern, tech-driven equity management and financial reporting platform for private and public companies. In 2026, we aim to be the leading provider for European IPOs and reporting for share-based payments. We are a value-based company with a core focus on being humble, transparent, ambitious and impactful, all in order to delivery the best experience for our customers and end users.

We are proud to partner with some of the world’s leading investors. New Enterprise Associates led our $22m Series B 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 Senior/Staff Software Engineer at Ledgy, you’ll design and build elegant, scalable systems that power how companies manage their equity. You’ll collaborate with fellow engineers (based mainly in Zurich and London), product managers, and designers to develop industry-leading automation and experiences — while many in our space still rely on manual processes.

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’re 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.

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.

AI Systems — Develops Ledgy’s AI foundations and product experiences, from AI agents and AI-assisted workflows to the platform capabilities that help other teams embed AI safely in their domains. The team works in a new and evolving product area, balancing rapid iteration with reliable execution, evaluation tooling, and responsible automation.

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.
