The Team You'll Work With

You will join our R&D team of learners, builders, experts, and leaders in Carta’s LP Portfolio Analytics group. Our group is building the next generation of software for private markets investors. We build software to help fund investors manage their documents, turn them into structured data and gain meaningful insights into their investment portfolio’s performance through powerful portfolio analytics, all in one platform. 

Carta is redefining technology for private markets. Since 2018, our fund administration business has grown faster than any other provider in the space. We work with some of the largest venture capital firms in the world, building software to automate managing their investments. With the addition of LP Portfolio Analytics, Carta has a unique platform serving the entire private markets ecosystem of privately held companies, private equity funds and fund investors. Carta is building the first network ERP for private capital.

Who We Are

We care deeply about our customers: investors, fund managers, CFOs, fund administrators, operations professionals, investment managers and others. We are relentless in our pursuit to create leverage for them. We do so by deeply understanding the domain and the jobs to be done. We run towards hard and messy problems. We serve the business, first and foremost, and invest in ourselves and each other in service of that effort. We are owners and that is the only title that matters. 

We take our work seriously, but not too seriously. We take equal pride in solving complex business problems like automating allocation calculations, as we do contributing to our Slack emoji portfolio. Stand-ups might include discussions on implementation details for a new Kafka event or our favorite microwavable snacks.

The Interview Process

Carta follows a standard tech startup interview process, where you will meet with a recruiter and hiring manager first. We’ll then ask you to show off your skills with a real-world take home exercise (we do not do LeetCode-style interviews, no one will quiz you on writing a doubly-linked list) and virtual interviews. During the process, you can ask questions to people across different parts of the Carta team to learn what kind of work we do and how it lines up with your interests.
