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.
About The Role At Light, we are building the Global Financial Platform. To achieve this ambition, we are scaling our engineering organisation rapidly. That growth only works if we get quality right.
You will join the Foundation Team, the force multiplier for our entire engineering organisation. Our mandate is to "build the factory that builds the product." As an SDET, you will not just be writing tests for a feature team — you will be architecting the internal quality infrastructure that enables every engineer at Light to ship with confidence.
We are looking for someone who is obsessed with test engineering as a discipline but grounded in the reality of production systems. You will help us move beyond ad-hoc testing to build robust frameworks, define our internal standards for quality, and ensure our teams can ship multiple times per day, safely and with confidence.

Useful but not essential
Level
We are hiring at both Mid and Senior level for this role. Senior candidates will ship high-impact work, drive strategy, and coach across the organisation. Mid-level candidates will execute within that strategy and grow into broader ownership.
The good stuff In addition to being part of a great team and working in a really fun and innovative environment, we offer:
💸 A competitive salary + potential stock options
🏝 25 days of annual leave + public holidays in the country where you are based.
🥳 Regular socials and company off-sites
🚀 A huge opportunity for career growth as you'll help shape a market-defining product.
The famous last words Working at Light means you're embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of multinational financial operations. Our cheat-code is that we've 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.
