Engineering Manager: Feature Team

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 deliver 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.

As a hands‑on Engineering Manager of one of our feature teams at Ledgy, you’ll lead the engineers who build the features that help companies offer, manage, and communicate compensation and savings vehicles: from equity plans to pensions, carry, and beyond. Your team works on the products employees and companies use to make sense of complex compensation structures.

This is a good fit if you find it meaningful to work on features that are financially significant to the people using them, as getting compensation right matters. The work is domain‑rich: these structures are complex, high‑stakes, and varied. You’ll report to the Head of Engineering and play a key role in expanding Ledgy’s product coverage as companies increasingly look to offer diverse forms of compensation.

• Have 2+ years in Engineering Management and 6+ years as a Software Engineer, with meaningful time in product‑focused or domain‑heavy roles
• Are energised by features that have a direct, visible impact on end users — the things employees actually see and interact with
• Care deeply about correctness in domains where getting things wrong has real financial consequences
• Are comfortable with evolving scope — compensation takes many forms, and the product will grow to reflect that
• Actively use AI tools to multiply your output and are excited to help your team do the same — you see AI as a core part of how great engineering gets done today
• Love developing people and creating an environment where engineers can do their best work
• Want to stay hands‑on — you’re comfortable diving into the codebase, reviewing PRs with concrete feedback, and shipping yourself

• Team Leadership: Setting technical direction for the team, running 1:1s and performance conversations, and supporting engineers in their growth.
• AI‑Augmented Engineering: Modelling and promoting effective use of AI tools across your team — from coding assistants to automated workflows. You’ll help engineers develop good instincts for where AI accelerates work and where human judgment matters most.
• Compensation & Savings Features: The product surface covering a range of compensation and savings vehicles — equity plans, pensions, carry, and more. Your team builds the logic and UX that makes these products usable for both companies and their employees.
