Founded in 2014, Ledger is the global platform for digital assets and Web3. Over 20% of the world’s crypto assets are secured through our Ledger Nanos. 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 million 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. You will start by joining Ledger’s Consumer Services business unit to improve the existing transactional services, and keep delivering new ones.

• Enhance and maintain CI/CD pipelines to secure and streamline deployment workflows.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship, collaborating across teams to deliver impactful projects and improve engineering standards.
• Drive innovation by identifying opportunities for improvement, contributing to a shared knowledge base, and participating in technical outreach.
• 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.
