Software Engineer II, Investor Access

The Problems You'll Solve

You will be building and shaping our product solutions. In particular, you’ll be one of the key contributors in improving operational efficiency, building new features while capitalizing on standardized solutions. Working in close collaboration with both business and engineering teams within Carta, we navigate a unique and challenging product space that intersects with multiple domains including Cap Table Management, Fund admins and various other teams. 

As one of the first few engineers on this team, you will play a key role in features for the foundational product. This is a collaborative effort across teams and disciplines. In this role you will:

• Architect, design and code highly available, secure, and scalable financial platforms
• Collaborate closely with UX/UI designers to translate design prototypes into high-quality, scalable code that is pixel-perfect and adheres to the company’s design system and branding guidelines.
• 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 

This will be a unique opportunity to have an impact not just within our product space, but also across teams within Carta.

The Interview Process

Our team believes that interviews are a two-way process and we strive to make them enjoyable without any “gotchas.” We do not do LeetCode-style interviews, no one will quiz you on writing a doubly-linked list :D

The interview process starts with a call with a member of our recruiting team who will tell you more about the job and the company. Then, you’ll meet the engineering lead, who will walk you through the specifics of the position, the team structure, what we’re looking for, and of course, answer any questions you will have. Then, there’s a technical programming interview where you’ll be working on a practical problem in the business in the language of your choice. Finally, we will schedule you for another four or five meetings with other team members to discuss everything from Carta’s culture to cross-team collaboration and what you can expect, and what is expected from you.
