The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow.

As we expand beyond Venture Capital, as a Senior Software Engineer we’ll need you to help define requirements and build solutions for products that bridge the gap for clients in Alternative Assets like Private Equity funds, Real Estate, Oil and Gas, etc.

The Team You'll Work With

The team you will join has discovered an immense opportunity in Private Equity. Powered by our core cap table product, we provide real-time, intelligent insights into their investments and waterfall distribution. We are expanding quickly to fulfill the demands of this market and we need your help

Here are some problems we solve:

  • Our marquee product waterfall modeling is powered by a proprietary framework. This framework allows us to provide an unprecedented level of white glove financial modeling to our customers. How do we continuously improve the customer experience and scalability of this product?
  • Private Equity firms, their investors, the lawyers, and their portfolio companies have many user personas and access controls. How do we offer great experiences to each of these users?
  • We are a startup within a startup. As we mature as an organization, how do we scale our engineering organization to deliver better developer experience, scalability, and reliability?

As an engineer on this team, you will play a key role in features for the foundational product. This is a collaborative effort across teams and disciplines. The choices we make will define our future product infrastructure. The cross-functional team is talking to top Private Equity firms and large enterprise customers to gather requirements for our roadmap. In this role you will:

  • Architect, design and code highly available, secure, and scalable financial platforms
  • Adhere to test-driven development (TDD), maintain high levels of code coverage and automation
  • Conduct timely and thoughtful peer code review
  • Leverage logging and monitoring of platforms to improve observability
  • Instrument system performance and business metrics
  • Mentor and grow junior developers
About You

We believe in engineers as artisans and first-principle problem solvers, and we aim to create an environment in which engineers thrive. You deeply care about your users and their problems. You are relentless in your pursuit to build delightful user experiences that wow the customer. You are energized by solving deep problems collaboratively.

Additionally,

  • You have 6+ years of full-stack or backend engineering experience
  • You have a desire to become a product domain expert and refine ambiguous product requirements to deliver customer value.
  • You have experience working with complex SaaS products with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices.
  • You are passionate about some elements of our tech stack (ReactJS, Java, Python, Datadog, REST / GRPC, Kafka, K8s, AWS)
  • You are excited to work with stakeholders across engineering, product, business and marketing and own an initiative end-to-end.
  • You see communication as one of your strengths.
  • You are eager to move fast, but recognize when to build for the future.
  • You are empathetic and see psychological safety and diversity as core foundations of a thriving team.
The Interview Process

Carta follows a standard tech startup interview process, where you will meet with a recruiter and hiring manager first. We’ll then ask you to show off your skills with a real-world take home exercise (we do not do LeetCode-style interviews, no one will quiz you on writing a doubly-linked list) and virtual interviews. During the process, you can ask questions to people across different parts of the team to learn what kind of work we do and how it lines up with your interests.

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to providing a positive interview experience for every candidate. If accommodations due to a disability or medical condition are needed, please connect with the talent partner via email.
