In the first 3 months
* Ship independently on impactful product features and improvements
* Participate in architecture discussions around scaling workflows, data models, and integrations
* Work alongside other engineers to implement robust, reliable data flows
* Develop a deep understanding of how companies manage and automate equity
* Participate in code reviews and help maintain our engineering standards
In the first 6–12 months
* Take ownership of key features and improvements within your team’s domain
* Help shape the technical direction and architecture of Ledgy’s equity platform
* Collaborate with Product and Design to deliver polished, user‑centric experiences
* Mentor other engineers and share expertise in automation, data modeling, and scalability
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.
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, and 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.
