Job Description

The Company You’ll Join

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 Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers.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

The Team You’ll Work With

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.

We own CI/CD infrastructure, GitHub governance across 500+ repos, the rollout of AI coding tools across our company, and the internal tooling layer that lets Carta move fast without breaking things. We are systems thinkers who measure everything, because you can't optimize what you don't understand.

Carta is making a company-wide bet on AI-native development, and DevEx is the team defining how that happens. Six months from now, the playbook will be written. Now is when you get to write it.

The Problems You’ll Solve

As a Senior Software Engineer II on DevEx, you will:

Build the MCP servers, agents, and plugin infrastructure that Carta's AI native development runs on, and define the patterns other engineers follow
Design and ship agents purpose-built to solve specific developer problems across the software delivery lifecycle
Architect and drive CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, and deployment to accelerate delivery across R&D
Build the infrastructure AI tooling runs on, so other engineers can build on top of it with confidence
Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through code reviews and architectural guidance

About You

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

Salary

Carta’s compensation package includes a market competitive salary, equity for all full time roles, exceptional benefits, and, for applicable roles, commissions plans. Our minimum cash compensation (salary + commission if applicable) range for this role is:

$212,500 - $250,000 in Santa Clara, CA; San Francisco, CA; New York, NY

Final offers may vary from the amount listed based on geography, candidate experience and expertise, and other factors.
