The Team You’ll Work With

As a Staff Engineer at Carta, you are a technical anchor for our business. You don't just own features, you take long-term accountability for the technical health and strategic direction of different domains.

Middle Office is where Carta's two client bases meet. Our cap table products serve companies; our fund administration products serve funds. Middle Office serves the investment firm sitting between them, and owns what happens after the check clears: collecting data from portfolio companies, valuing the holdings, modeling the fund's outcome, and reporting the result to LPs.

Sitting in the middle of Carta's ERP, most of what we build ships in partnership with other teams.
