Layer builds embedded accounting software for small and medium-sized businesses. The company's platform powers accounting for thousands of SMBs, delivered through APIs and embedded components that integrate directly into other products. The technical stack is built on Kotlin for backend APIs and React for embedded components.
The team is small, with engineers taking end-to-end ownership of features from design through deployment and partner launches. The company's culture emphasises deep domain knowledge - everyone on the team learns accounting thoroughly - and a fast shipping cadence with constant iteration.
Layer looks for people who enjoy making their teammates better and who care about both small businesses and the systems that serve them. Team members are expected to navigate tradeoffs using their own understanding of company goals, and fun is described as core to how the team operates.
