Retire the ERP.
Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.
We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. People don’t just use Light—they enjoy it.
We’re an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you’re excited to modernize how the world runs money—one workflow at a time—you’re in the right place.
Backed by world-class investors and advised by industry titans, we’re building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes.
Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.

🤝 Engineering and Design teams love working with you because things move.
💡 You’re known as a force multiplier — adding clarity, speed, and structure everywhere you go.

In addition to being part of a great team and working in a really fun and innovative environment, we offer:
💸 Competitive salary + stock options in our fast-growing start-up
🍼 Paid parental leave

🥳 Regular socials and company Starsite off-sites (last time was Southern France and next one is in Spain in October)
🚀 A huge opportunity for career growth as you will help shape a market-defining product
The famous last words
Working at Light means you are embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of multinational financial operations. Our cheat-code is that we have built something like this before and are now doing it again, only better. Our goal is to make global finance effortless and empower companies to make informed decisions.
