About Ledgy and the Role

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. We are a value-based company with a core focus on being humble, transparent, ambitious and impactful, all in order to deliver the best experience for our customers and end users.

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.

We are proud to partner with some of the world’s leading investors. Ledgy was founded in Switzerland in 2017 and operates globally from offices in Zurich and London. We encourage diversity and are an international team coming from 26 different countries and speaking 25 languages.
