## Description

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., * 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., We have a modern, cohesive stack that lets us move fast while maintaining quality:
 * Language: TypeScript
 * Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS, tRPC
 * Backend: tRPC, Node.js, MongoDB, Temporal
 * Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions

*We don't expect proficiency in this specific stack
