  • Leverage all the power of functional programming with Scala and the Typelevel stack

  • Maintain tools and services in a diverse stack (Scala, Python)

  • Conduct benchmarks to identify bottlenecks and optimize the overall performance of our services

  • Deliver a high-quality piece of software (Test it, Document it, Demonstrate it)

  • Design monitoring systems to detect unexpected failures/behavior

  • Use CI / CD to deploy and secure workflows

What we're looking for

  • First relevant experience in backend robust development

  • Good proficiency in Scala or similar functional programming language

  • Good proficiency in English

  • Node.js and Java developers who are willing to dive into Scala technologies are welcome

  • Enthusiastic about teamwork, learning, and teaching (meet-ups, hackathons, training…)

  • Adaptability to do teamwork in a fast-evolving environment

  • You are autonomous, proactive, and capable of self-training

  • Having an interest in cryptocurrencies and wishing to work with blockchain technology is a real plus

At Ledger, we are dedicated to continually investing in our employees which is why we offer more than just salaries; we provide comprehensive compensation packages that include a wide range of benefits. Here are some of the benefits you can look forward to:

  • Flexible work options - Our hybrid policy allows employees to work from home up to 3 times per week
