Carta
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 Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers.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.
At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be building and shaping our industry‑standard Valuations products. In particular, you’ll be one of the key contributors in building new features, improving operational efficiency and minimizing technical debt. Working in close collaboration with both business and other engineering teams within Carta, we navigate a unique and challenging product space that intersects with multiple domains including Company Cap Table Management and Investor Products. This will be a unique opportunity to have an impact within your product space, across Carta, and on the Private Equity and Venture industry as a whole.
In this role you will:
Design and code highly available, secure, and scalable platforms and user experiences
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
The Team You'll Work With You’ll join Carta’s Valuations team building an end‑to‑end Portfolio Valuations experience for Private Equity and Venture investors. The workflow unifies data collection, enterprise value estimation, allocation of holdings value, and audit‑ready reporting. Valuations are a cornerstone of Carta’s long‑term strategy.
We pair Carta’s cap table network with investor workflows to enable consistent, scalable valuations across LLCs and C‑corps, supporting allocation models such as waterfall, option pricing, and common‑stock‑equivalent. We prioritize transparency and auditability through structured exports and valuation histories, allowing finance teams and auditors to trace assumptions and results. We also use AI across the product and our development process—to assist customers, surface anomalies, and accelerate execution.
As part of the Valuations team, you’ll collaborate with partners across R&D, Delivery, Marketing, and Operations to evolve the end‑to‑end experience, with a focus on reliability, scale, and customer trust.
About You We believe in engineers as artisans and first‑principle problem solvers, and we aim to create an environment in which engineers thrive.
You deeply care about your users and their problems. You are relentless in your pursuit to build delightful user experiences that wow the customer. You are energized by solving deep problems collaboratively. You have years of professional software development experience, particularly with Python.
Additionally,
You have a desire to become a product domain expert and refine ambiguous product requirements to deliver customer value.
You are passionate about some elements of our tech stack (ReactJS, Java, Python, Datadog, GRPC / GraphQL, Kafka, K8s, AWS)
You are passionate about finding opportunities to 10X user experiences via AI agents
You have experience working with SaaS products with microservices.
You are excited to work with stakeholders across engineering, product, business and marketing and own an initiative end‑to‑end.
You see communication as one of your strengths.
You are eager to move fast, but recognize when to build for the future.
At Carta, you’re not just an employee. You’re a builder who is creating infrastructure that accelerates innovation and empowers more ownership. Cartans are helpful, relentless, unconventional and kind; representing Carta’s Identity Traits. They work collaboratively and cross functionally to challenge the status quo; working towards a common goal of creating more owners in the private markets.
Carta’s compensation package includes a market competitive salary, equity for all full time roles, exceptional benefits, and, for applicable roles, commissions plans. Our expected cash compensation (salary + commission if applicable) range for this role is:
$178,000 - $210,000 in San Francisco, CA; Santa Clara, CA; New York, NY
We are hiring for multiple levels and locations, so final offers may vary from the amounts listed based on geography, experience and expertise, and other factors.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
