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. Most of Carta's long-term success will come from products and technology that have yet to be built. Here is an incomplete list of how you might contribute:

Building customer-facing enterprise tools for equity administration Creating data pipelines for asynchronously aggregating financial reports Reinforcing service resiliency, availability, and fault tolerance Streamlining the creation of new features and services within our ecosystem Integrating with third-party vendors to provide reliable, accurate, and timely transfers of billions of dollars per year through Carta's platform Refactoring existing features into standalone event-driven services And others for you to discover and champion

You'll work directly with internal and external stakeholders to ensure we're building the right thing at the right time with the right people. Your contributions will enable Carta's mission to make equity more available and accessible to everyone.

The Team You’ll Work With

You will join our engineering team of passionate learners, builders, experts, and leaders to define and implement Carta's next generation of products, platforms, and infrastructure. You'll collaborate closely with key stakeholders in Product, Business, and Design. Carta's software engineers contribute in many different ways: sometimes we are shipping new product features, architecting simple and maintainable systems, or training the organization on new technology solutions. You will make your own mark here. Here are some of the teams we’re hiring for:

First, one of our recruiters will call you to tell you more about the job and company.

Next, we’ll send you a technical exercise where you’ll implement a software solution to a small engineering problem. Finally, you'll have  back-to-back conversations with Carta team members on a wide range of topics, including communications and collaboration, coding efficacy and techniques, and systems design.
