About Carta

Carta’s ERP for private capital combines software and services to deliver connected clarity and control across equity, fund, and portfolio management. Backed by Lightspeed and a16z.

About the role

You'll join our Developer Experience (DevEx) team, a lean "Special Ops" unit within Carta's Infrastructure organization. Our North Star: remove friction from every step of the software delivery lifecycle so Carta's engineers can do the best work of their careers.

What they're looking for

  • Experience: 8+ years in platform, backend, or fullstack engineering
  • AI Builder: You've shipped production LLM systems, whether that's MCP servers or clients, AI extensions, connectors, or agents designed to solve real problems, not just demos
  • Platform Mindset: You build things other engineers build on top of and think about APIs and developer ergonomics as seriously as performance
  • Tech Stack: Python or Java, CI/CD tooling (CircleCI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Docker), cloud-native (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes), familiarity with secrets management tooling (Vault, Cloudsmith) is a plus
  • Security Aware : You think about least-privilege, token lifecycle, and supply chain risks when designing developer tooling, not just after an incident
  • Execution: You break down ambiguous problems and deliver with minimal guidance, bringing data to debates and owning outcomes end-to-end
