Senior Software Engineer I, International Captable

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. As a Software Engineer, you’ll work to: 

• In this role, you'll be working on the Capdesk from Carta platform. You’ll contribute to building new features, improve existing code and will be collaborating with a team of highly driven and motivated individuals on a daily basis.  
• You’ll be directly contributing to our efforts on winning both UK and EU mid-market customers.
• The role is intended to be Full Stack, with a small inclination for the backend side of things. You’ll be working mostly on the backend, with occasional dips on the frontend when needed (or based on interest!)
• You’ll also be collaborating with product designers and product managers on a daily basis. 

The Team You’ll Work With

As an engineer joining our team, you'll have a golden opportunity to shape how we work and build things at Capdesk from Carta. You’re being brought on board to lead the change, not to be a passenger. Your voice will be heard and you will be given ample opportunities to influence the things you're passionate about. We're a team of open-minded individuals that love hearing new ideas and learning from others’ experiences.

About You

We're looking for engineers with experience delivering value. You've contributed to important features put into production and want to keep shipping more. You strive for autonomy and desire to have a big, measurable impact on customers. You enjoy being surrounded with passionate engineers who are delivering quality everyday.

• We want engineers to be autonomous, able to wrap their head around complex problems and curious to dig into the world of fintech.
• We want individuals that like to ship iteratively and consistently improve the code, leaving it better than it was when you first read it - as well as having a strong sense of ownership and taking pride in the quality of the final product. 
• We expect engineers to be able to break down a complex problem into a solution that provides a rich user experience and implement solutions in a scalable future-proof way.

At Carta, you’re not just an employee. You’re a builder who is creating  infrastructure that accelerates innovation and empowers more ownership. Cartans are helpful, relentless, unconventional and kind; representing Carta’s Identity Traits. They work collaboratively and cross functionally  to challenge the status quo; working towards a common goal of creating more owners in the private markets. 

• You have experience working as a full stack engineer. Experience with Django, Python, Ruby on Rails, React, and TypeScript is a plus, but not mandatory.
• Our frontend infrastructure is composed of three micro-frontend applications. Most of the code is written in React/TypeScript.
• You have 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer.
• You have strong technical skills and are an excellent collaborator.
• You have experience writing design proposals, documenting solutions, and presenting ideas for feedback. You’re comfortable refining solutions collaboratively and driving them to execution.
• You implement systems that are clear, maintainable, and correct. 
• You are excited by opportunities to both break ground on new projects and provide fresh perspective onto past implementations.
• You identify challenges your team faces, propose solutions, and take ownership of delivering impactful outcomes.
• You are eager to move fast, but recognize when to build for the future.
• You have good communication skills in English.
