We’re the forever innovators. On a mission that goes beyond business. Securing digital ownership in a changing world. Unlocking true freedom. We’re revolutionaries.

Headquartered in Paris and Vierzon, with offices in UK, US, Switzerland and Singapore, Ledger has a team of more than 500 professionals developing a variety of products and services to enable individuals and companies to securely buy, store, swap, grow and manage crypto assets – including the Ledger hardware wallets line with more than 6 millions units already sold in 200 countries. 


Ledger Live is a Desktop and Mobile application that helps you manage all your blockchain-backed assets. It’s built in ReactJS (Electron on Desktop and React Native on Mobile) and supports multiple blockchains (coins & NFTs) as well as providing multiple financial services (Buy, Swap, Sell).


To sustain the company's growth, Ledger is looking for new talents.

  • Manage projects effectively, respecting deadlines, priorities, and deliverables.

What we're looking for

  • Experienced engineer and continuous learner with 6+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • 2+ years of technical leadership experience, including effective communication of complex concepts and cross-team coordination to ship critical products.
  • Advanced Scala proficiency; expert-level proficiency, and advanced mastery of a second backend language (e.g., Rust, Java, Python, PHP) is a plus.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
  • Experience collaborating closely with QA, product management, and key stakeholders to develop and deliver on a shared vision.
  • Led development of complex, high-performance interactive browser applications, including architecture, infrastructure, and optimization.
  • Experience with various web architecture patterns (e.g., Microservices, Event-Driven, P2P).
  • Ability to apply and adapt software engineering best practices to the engineering environment.
  • Experience in the Web3 ecosystem and in a project involving blockchain fundamentals.
  • Solid understanding of Docker and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
  • Significant experience with web protocols such as HTTP, JSON-RPC, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC.
  • Strong comprehension of database fundamentals, both relational and NoSQL.
  • Experience working in a multicultural environment, with fluency in English being essential.
