Carta connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world‑class software, purpose‑built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit. Trusted by 65,000+ companies in 160+ countries, Carta’s platform of software and services lays the groundwork so you can build, invest, and scale with confidence. Carta’s Fund Administration platform supports 9,000+ funds and SPVs, representing nearly $185B in assets under management, with tools designed to enhance the strategic impact of fund CFOs.

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 Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers.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.

• How can we leverage the power of AI to create exceptional, seamless experiences for our customers?
• How can we design reliable systems for tracking capital movement across a fund’s lifecycle, from initial call to final distribution?
• How do we build flexible reporting pipelines that adapt to evolving fund structures and support compliance with financial regulations?
• How can we apply machine learning to automate workflows traditionally powered by spreadsheets and manual reviews?

Carta’s Fund Operations Engineering Organization is designing the infrastructure that redefines how investment firms across Venture Capital and Private Equity run. We’re building the systems that sit at the heart of fund administration: financial data pipelines, transaction engines, ML‑assisted tooling, and full‑service automation. Our teams are multidisciplinary, working closely with product leaders, accountants, data scientists, and ML researchers to take on some of Carta’s most challenging, ambiguous problems.

We’re drawn to complexity, motivated by clarity, and operate with a high degree of ownership. If you thrive in early‑innings problems, enjoy building clean abstractions from messy, real‑world scenarios, and want to help shape an industry‑standard platform from the ground up, this is the place to do it.

• You have strong technical skills and are an excellent collaborator

• You implement systems that are clear, maintainable, and stand the test of time.
• You are excited by opportunities to both break ground on new projects and provide fresh perspective onto past implementations.
• You are eager to move fast, but recognize when to build for the future.
• You’re familiar with some elements of the Carta tech stack (Python, Django, Java, JavaScript, React, Postgres, REST/GRPC, Kafka).
