Job Description:
The Company You'll Join
At Carta we create owners and make private markets liquid.
We live in a world where some people live on the equity stack and
enjoy exponential wealth growth and preferential tax treatment;
others live on the debt stack and may work their entire lives for a
company and retire only with the cash they've managed to save from
their paychecks. Our contribution to solving the wealth inequality
problem is moving people from the debt stack (payroll) to the
equity stack. By making it as easy to issue equity to employees as
it is to put them on payroll, we can create more owners.
At Carta, we are helpful, transparent, fair, and kind. We are
relentless executors, unconventional thinkers, and masters of our
craft.

The Team You'll Work With
Our team at Carta, Stock-Based Financing, is responsible for
building financing solutions that shareholders like you and I
(employees) can use. We enable shareholders to afford the upfront
cost of exercises, reap the benefits of long-term capital gains,
and access liquidity against their private stock. We will then
focus on entirely new initiates like public-facing APIs,
integrating with 3rd parties, Lender views in Carta (a new type of
user!), and much more. We plan to hire a lot of engineers in 2022,
so joining now will give you the advantage of influencing many
early engineering decisions.
You'll join a small, cross-functional team as a Mid/Senior Backend
Engineer. Day-to-day, you'll have opportunities to partner closely
with other engineers, product managers, and business leaders. You
will work closely with design to scope out work early and provide
feedback. You will participate in team-wide and org-wide syncs to
align on and drive best practices. We believe in smaller teams to
allow for greater focus and have an immense amount of ownership
over the problems that we solve. We have a strong collaborative
relationship between Product and Engineering. Being helpful is
ingrained in our culture.
The Problems You'll Solve
As a Mid/Senior Backend Engineer on Stock-Based Financing, you are
primarily responsible for designing, building, and maintaining
backend components. We are building the vast majority of our
components from scratch, which means we can adopt best practices
quickly and shape our technical roadmap with very little technical
debt.
Some Of The Problems You Could Be Solving Include
You have 5+ years of backend experience working as an individual
contributor. You are familiar with Python (or willing to learn it),
but you might have another language in your toolbelt as well. Our
stack includes AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, CircleCI, Jenkins,
and Datadog, but we value experience with similar technologies.
You've worked in a monolithic environment and have felt the pain as
organizations grow. Ideally, you've helped transform that same
environment into microservices. You identify as a generalist but
are regarded by your peers as profoundly knowledgeable in a
specific area. You understand that technology is only a piece of
the puzzle, so you enjoy collaborating with others to help solve
their problems. Those problems are usually lofty, complicated, and
ambiguous, so your communications skills are honed and effective.
You are extraordinarily mission-driven and are as excited about 0
to 1 projects as well as iterating.
You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience and experience
architecting complex SaaS products and microservices. You have
industry experience developing scalable production quality backend
systems. As a bonus, you have experience mentoring junior
developers.
Other Required Skills
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,
connect with us via email at recruiting@carta.com . As a company,
we value fairness, helpfulness, transparency, leadership and build
our teams around these values. Check out our careers page to get to
