Workplace: hybrid

Description

Landytech is on a mission to revolutionise 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 80+ staff, with offices in London and Paris. At Landytech, we see diversity as our strength with a team from over 15 countries and 14 languages spoken.

The role

AI has made producing screens easy. It has not made products coherent. We are looking for someone to own the experience of Sesame end to end — the client journey, the interaction logic, the look and feel, and the consistency of all of it.

We have posted this role under two titles — Product Experience Designer and Design Engineer — to reach both backgrounds. Same role, same team. Apply once, to whichever fits you better.

How we work

We have rebuilt our product process around AI rather than bolting it on:

AI is used heavily at every stage of both design and engineering, not just at the production end
Our design system lives in code, used by engineers and AI tooling alike
Tooling changes every few months and we expect it to
You will have real scope to shape how we work, and to help build the parts that do not exist yet.

What you will shape

How much of this you lead outright will depend on your experience and on how it fits with the team already in place. There is room to take on more over time.

Client journey. The journey for investment professionals, family offices and their advisors — grounded in time spent with them, not personas
The experience model. How portfolios, positions, transactions and valuations are represented, related and navigated across the platform — and a strong voice when teams disagree
Look, feel and consistency. The product should feel like one thing, and you will help define what that one thing is
The design system. A living implementation in code, developed with our front-end engineers rather than a Figma library that drifts from production
Craft in dense financial interfaces. Tables that stay legible at scale, numbers at the right precision, drill-downs that survive a messy real portfolio

The must-have: setting the standard AI works to

AI is very good at producing attractive interfaces. Given a design system, almost anyone can now generate a credible screen.

The harder problem, and the one this role exists to solve, is making sure what we build expresses the product’s logic, density and intent rather than simply reusing its components. That means defining the standards and instructions our tools work to, reading the output critically enough to see why something is subtly wrong, and tightening the rules so it does not recur.

Using AI to produce interfaces is not the skill we are looking for. Directing it to our standard, consistently and at depth, is.

Strongly valued: front-end engineering experience

Designing the experience is half of it. Delivering it is the other half.

Build and ship, rather than only specify
Drive the design system with engineers as a shared artefact in code
Design for real production constraints: scale, loading and error states, ugly data

You do not need to be a full-time engineer. Comfort reading a component, working in a library such as shadcn/ui and reviewing a front-end PR goes a long way.

Also valued: product management instincts

If you have talked to clients directly, decided what not to build, and owned an outcome rather than a deliverable, we will weight it heavily.

What we are looking for

We do not expect anyone to have everything below — we would rather meet someone exceptional in two areas than adequate in all three.

5+ years designing B2B, analytics or data-heavy products, with deep UX expertise in complex domains
Systems thinking — you think in objects, relationships and states before screens
Real craft in dense data interfaces: tables, grids, charts, hierarchy, typography, restraint
Fluency with AI-assisted design as a working method, and the specification skill described above
First-hand user research — you get past what users say they do to what they actually do
Comfortable as an editor and enabler: reviewing others’ work, teaching, holding a line
Genuine curiosity about finance. You need not arrive knowing what a capital call is

Our process

Our interview process is likely to include a portfolio or work conversation, a short practical exercise based on a real Sesame flow, and a working session with a product manager and an engineer. We adapt the steps to the candidate and will always tell you what to expect in advance.

Canoe and Landytech partner to automate data delivery.

Canoe and Landytech partner to automate data delivery. 21 October 2026 UK Reporter: Madison Hendrickson Canoe Intelligence, an intelligence infrastructure firm, and Landytech, an AI-powered investment management platform, announce a data partnership focused on automating alternative investment data delivery for family offices. The partnership brings Canoe's automated document collection and data extraction capabilities directly to Sesame, Landytech's reporting and system-of-record platform for family offices, trust companies, private banks, and asset managers, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Private markets data is one of the most persistent operational drags on family offices, say the firms, and manual processes introduce delay, cost, and room for error where family offices can least afford it. With the partnership, the firms explain mutual clients will gain automated data delivery, more reliable reporting, and a more complete portfolio view. Benjamin Mouté, founder and CEO of Landytech, comments: "Private market data is too often fragmented across general partner portals, leaving family offices to manage manual processes and incomplete information. "Together with Canoe, we are delivering end-to-end automation for bringing more of that data into Sesame, where it can power consolidated reporting, automated journal entries, and AI-driven analysis." Mike Muniz, partner and chief strategy officer of Canoe Intelligence, adds: "This partnership means that its shared clients get accurate, automated alts data flowing straight into Sesame, without adding another manual step to their day.

Landytech and Tamarix partner to cut private asset processing from days to minutes.

Landytech and Tamarix partner to cut private asset processing from days to minutes. Landytech and Tamarix have partnered to automate the sourcing and processing of private asset data directly from GP portals, complementing Landytech's existing automated custodian feeds to help clients achieve greater automation across their full data consolidation workflow - all within the Sesame One platform. London, 28 May 2026 - Landytech, the company behind the all-in-one investment management platform for family offices, Sesame One, today announced a strategic partnership with Tamarix, an AI operating system for limited partners purpose-built to automate private markets data workflows. The partnership enables family offices to manage alternatives with the same discipline as traditional assets, by automating private markets data from Tamarix into Sesame One. Family offices typically struggle most with private investments. GP data arrives through capital call notices, distributions, quarterly reports and capital account statements - fragmented, non-standardised and largely manual. Tamarix uses modern LLMs to extract, structure and validate this data directly from GP documents. Sesame One then consolidates it with the rest of the portfolio to deliver risk management, analytics, liquidity visibility and reporting across public and private assets. The result is accurate, rapidly consolidated alternatives data, far less manual work, and decision-ready insight across the entire portfolio, without adding headcount. Rob Martin, Partnerships Director, commented: "Family offices want a complete view of their wealth, but private investments have long been the part that breaks the operating model. By bringing Tamarix's private markets data into Sesame One, we are giving family offices a single, governed source of truth across public and private assets, and removing the manual work that has held teams back." Andrea Carnelli Dompé, CEO and Founder at Tamarix, added: "Family offices are managing more alternatives than ever, but the operational reality has not kept pace. Tamarix replaces manual and legacy private markets data workflows with AI-native infrastructure purpose-built for LPs. Partnering with Landytech means our customers can move from accurate private investment data to decision-ready portfolio intelligence in one connected experience."
