As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Carta, you'll spend a third of your time partnering with domain experts across the company to analyze and explore Carta's proprietary document repository and data set. Another third will be dedicated to building machine learning models to power new products, automate complex document workflows, and accelerate Carta's business. The remaining third will involve developing Carta's machine learning infrastructure. Example responsibilities will include:

• Perform exploratory analyses to understand the dynamics of private markets and ownership from source-of-record documents and systems.
• Develop LLM-powered pipelines to classify complex legal documents and extract key information from these docs to automate onboarding to our suite of products.
• Develop machine learning models to power new financial products and to extract trends from performance of existing products.
• Build and deploy containerized prediction services and integrate them with our data pipelines.
• Partner with product managers, engineers, designers, and business teams to incorporate ML-generated estimates and benchmarks into products and user-flows.
• Own, coordinate, and solve complex, cross-functional problems that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of machine learning.

The Team You'll Work With

At Carta, our Machine Learning team is on a mission to power data products and automation through cutting-edge techniques. We work closely with Carta's core business units and product teams to develop estimation-based data products and large language model (LLM)-powered document intelligence capabilities.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
