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.   You'll Thrive in This Role If You * 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 What You'll Own * 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. * Employee-Facing Experience: Ensuring the features your team builds are not just correct, but clear and accessible to employees navigating complex compensation structures. * Domain Breadth: As Ledgy expands into new compensation types, your team will be at the frontier, building the models and product experiences that bring them to life. Our tech stack: * Language: TypeScript * Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS, tRPC * Backend: tRPC, Node.js, MongoDB, Temporal * Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, GCP, Terraform Cloud, Kubernetes What Your Journey Could Look Like First 30 Days * Build relationships with your direct reports and develop a solid understanding of the compensation domain, including what we support today and where we're headed * Get hands-on with the codebase — review PRs and understand how the product models compensation and plan logic * Meet PD leadership: CTO, Head of Engineering, Head of Product, and the other EMs * Understand how your team's domain intersects with the rest of the platform First 3 Months * Own the team's delivery rhythm: roadmap reviews, sprint health, and unblocking engineers * Identify and begin addressing the most complex or fragile areas of the domain * Establish regular 1:1s and begin meaningful coaching conversations with your reports * Partner with PM and Design on the roadmap for expanding compensation coverage 6–12 Months * Be recognised as the technical leader for compensation and savings features at Ledgy * Deliver measurable improvements to product quality, coverage, or the employee experience * Lead performance reviews and meaningful career development conversations * Be a trusted partner to product and engineering leadership on compensation strategy The Interview Process 1.
