Senior Frontend Engineer, LLC
Carta
This is a Full-time position in Palo Alto, CA posted December 24, 2021.
The Company You’ll Join
At Carta we create owners and make private markets liquid.
We live in a world where some people live on the equity stack and enjoy exponential wealth growth and preferential tax treatment; others live on the debt stack and may work their entire lives for a company and retire only with the cash they’ve managed to save from their paychecks.
Our contribution to solving the wealth inequality problem is moving people from the debt stack (payroll) to the equity stack.
By making it as easy to issue equity to employees as it is to put them on payroll, we can create more owners.
At Carta, we are helpful, transparent, fair, and kind.
We are relentless executors, unconventional thinkers, and masters of our craft.

Come help us build the Carta LLC Experience We’re looking for a talented engineer to join our team in the Limited Liability Companies (LLC) business unit. The Team You’ll Work With We are a diverse team of 10 individuals with big goals.
We want to build a 2 million dollar business in 2020 and scale it to $20 million by the end of 2021.
The scope and impact of each individual are immense.
We are biased toward action and believe in the mantra of build -> measure -> learn. On the team, you’ll collaborate closely with our product manager and designer to understand the motivation (why) behind a customer want, defining the scope of work (what), and build a solution (how) with your engineering peers to deliver the desired customer value. Our team is diverse in multiple axes: gender, nationality, technical specialization, and other quirks — this our strength.
In such an environment, trust and humility are of utmost importance.
Our development philosophy closely mirrors Agile Scrum, but we are not afraid to deviate from it.
We care about solving customer problems first and engineering problems second.
The Problems You’ll Solve As we expand beyond Venture Capital, we’ll need you to help define requirements and build solutions for products that bridge the gap for clients in Private Equity backed LLCs.
We are building a brand new product to address this market.
Here are some problems we need you to help us solve:
- LLCs are creatures of contracts, how do we model this variability in Carta?
- LLCs are used to represent many different types of asset classes, how are these nuances represented in the data model and how do they cascade into distinct product experiences?
- Private Equity firms, their investors, the lawyers, and their portfolio companies have many user personas and access controls.
How do we offer great experiences to each of these users?
As one of the first few engineers on this team, you will play a key role in building the initial data model and features for the foundational product.
This is a collaborative effort across teams and disciplines.
The choices we make will define our future product infrastructure.
The cross-functional team is talking to top Private Equity firms and large enterprise customers to gather requirements for our roadmap.
In this role you will be responsible for:
- Architecture, design and coding of performant, secure, and scalable financial platforms
- Test-driven development (TDD), high levels of code coverage and automation
- Peer code review
- Measuring results of system changes through metrics, both in speed and in business value
About You You have strong technical skills, are excited by “zero to one” projects, and enjoy working closely with stakeholders across engineering, product business and marketing.
You have a desire to become a product domain expert and the ability to refine ambiguous product requirements to deliver customer value.
You see communication as one of your strengths.
- You have 4+ years of experience working with JavaScript frameworks like React or Angular.
- You have industry experience developing scalable production quality frontend systems.
You have experience mentoring junior developers.
- We use Java (primary) and Python (secondary) to build backend services, and React in the frontend.
React expertise is required.
- Prior experience in FinTech and all other technologies is ideal, but not required.
