At Vestd we’re transforming a world dominated by ‘Capital’, to one which more fairly recognises the value, effort and contribution every team member makes to the success of a business.

We’ve built the UK’s first shares and equity management platform for SMEs and we make it easy for business owners to issue shares and options; compliantly, affordably and without all the usual headaches.

We are a rapidly growing team who passionately believe in the power of sharing ownership and are looking for a 3rd engineer to join a team where their knowledge of business structures will be as important as their development skills. You’ll get a huge amount of support and will have the opportunity to really make your mark as we continue to grow.
