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 $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 Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers.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.

The Problems You'll Solve

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. To do this well, we must continuously raise the bar on software quality—without compromising developer velocity.

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer II, you won’t just be writing tests—you’ll be a force multiplier for quality across the engineering organization. You’ll work across multiple product teams to drive a strategic shift: from QA as a safety net to quality as a shared responsibility, embedded into every part of the development lifecycle.

You’ll lead efforts to identify critical coverage gaps, implement and scale test automation frameworks, and roll out self-service tools that enable developers to write, run, and promote tests with confidence. You’ll partner closely with embedded QAs, developers, and platform teams to shift QA towards an enablement model that amplifies impact across teams.

You’ll help pilot new ways of working that reduce manual effort, catch defects earlier, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio in our CI pipeline—whether through smarter automation, better tooling, or new AI-integrated approaches to test reliability and triage. Ultimately, your work will help Carta move faster without sacrificing confidence—by making automated quality an invisible but essential part of our software delivery process.

The Team You'll Work With

The QA Organization consists of ~15 QAs who work closely with our Product, Engineering, and Support teams. We work cross-functionally across the organization to make sure we are testing our product before our clients get to use them. This is a highly visible and critical role to help define and implement QA processes within different teams, plus help with manual and automation testing to test our products thoroughly and deliver with high quality.
