Recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc. and Great Places to Work, Carta is shaping the future of private market infrastructure.

Together, Carta is creating the end-to-end ERP platform for private markets. Traditional ERP solutions don't work for Private Funds. Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers. Carta's software for the Office of the Fund CFO does just that - it's a new category of software to make private markets look more like public markets - a connected ERP for private capital.

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 continue expanding beyond Venture Capital into Private Equity markets, we're building solutions to address the unique challenges of clients managing companies and funds structured as LLCs. These entities vary widely in contractual structures and represent diverse asset classes, requiring a flexible and scalable data model that supports distinct product experiences. Additionally, Private Equity firms, their investors, legal partners, and portfolio companies interact with our platform through different user personas and permissions, making robust access control and tailored experiences essential.

As a Senior Engineer on this team, you'll play a critical role in shaping the next generation of ownership management products. You'll work closely with product, design, and go-to-market teams—as well as directly with top-tier Private Equity firms and enterprise-scale clients—to deeply understand their needs and deliver high-quality technical solutions.

The Team You'll Work With
You'll be joining our Asset Management LLC Captable team. We launched the Carta LLC product in 2020 and, after discovering a repeatable go-to-market motion, have been on a journey to scale it across the entire portfolio of Private Equity companies. We're also expanding to support a wide range of ownership management workflows.

The scope and impact of each individual on the team are immense. We are biased toward action and believe in the mantra: build → measure → learn. As part of our team, you'll work closely with product managers and designers to understand the motivation (why) behind a customer need, define the scope of work (what), and collaborate with your engineering peers to build solutions (how) that deliver meaningful customer value.

The Interview Process

During the process, you can ask questions to people across different parts of the Fund Administration team to learn what kind of work we do and how it lines up with your interests.
