Senior Software Engineer II, Developer Experience 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 $185 B 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 Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers.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.

You’ll join our Developer Experience (Dev Ex) 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, Git Hub 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 Dev Ex is the team defining how that happens.

• 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

• Experience: 8+ years in platform, backend, or full‑stack 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 (Circle
  
  CI, Git Hub 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

Carta’s compensation package includes a market‑competitive salary, equity for all full‑time roles, exceptional benefits, and, for applicable roles, commission 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
