Head of Engineering - NFT Platform

Founded in 2014, Ledger is the global leader of security solutions and infrastructure for cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications, with more than 4 million users in 180 countries.

Ledger combines hardware and software expertise to secure billions of dollars worth of almost 2,000 different crypto assets - worldwide, 15% of these assets are managed through the Ledger ecosystem.

Bolstered by accelerated growth (with revenue growing by 6 times between the first semesters of 2020 and 2021), and a new fundraiser that made Ledger a “unicorn” worth 1.5 billion dollars, Ledger will be a major player in the fourth industrial revolution - the revolution of the Internet of Value, Web3, DeFi, and NFTs.

Ledger designs the most reliable and user-friendly solutions: their R&D team created an operating system, integrated into the Nano S and X, and a platform, Ledger Live, that allows users to take back control of their digital lives by acting as a secure gateway to the entire ecosystem of digital assets. Ledger has already welcomed more than 330 people in 2021 - and they’re just getting started. Based in Paris, Vierzon, Singapore, New York, London, Geneva, Montpellier and Grenoble, upon arriving at Ledger employees sign a “P.A.C.T” of values: Pragmatism, Audacity, Commitment, Transparency and Trust

We're making the world of digital assets accessible and secure for everyone. 

Join the mission.

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 the UK, US, Switzerland and Singapore, Ledger has a team of more than 700 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 5 millions units already sold in 180 countries. 

At Ledger, we embody the values that make us unique: Pragmatism, Audacity, Commitment, Trust and Transparency. Have a look at our Origins video here.

NFTs are a complete revolution: for the first time in the history of the World Wide Web can we now protect and monetize ideas, issue certificates of ownership and store them in decentralised and open chains. It’s an absolute game changer, but it’s still a nascent space where a lot still needs to be built. 

At Ledger, we are building the world's most secure NFT online shop and we need you to lead this. Reporting directly to the VP Engineering Consumer, you will be responsible for building, developing and maintaining our NFT platform, [Ledger] Market.

We require someone who is no stranger to rapidly scaling up teams, a “been there done that” kind of person, who has proven experience in Web3, managing international Tech' teams and has a passion for success.

Ledger will give you the opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies and be at the forefront of the Web3 and NFT revolutions.
