Landytech is on a mission to revolutionize the way that investment managers, asset owners and their advisors access asset information. Powered by Sesame, an industry-leading investment reporting platform, we are helping clients in over 15 countries make informed investment decisions and deliver insights faster.

The company is growing rapidly and it's an exciting time to join, having secured $12M in Series B funding in January 2023. In just four years, it has gone from two co-founders to a team of 100+ staff, with offices in London and Paris.
