The Team You’ll Work With

The Infrastructure team is responsible for creating leverage for the Engineering organization at Carta. We strive to provide best-in-class solutions to our developers so that they can be as productive as possible in solving problems. We provide frameworks, tools and consulting to enhance the robustness, reliability and resiliency of everything we ship. The team is made up of generalists who love solving problems with others but we all have a speciality that makes us greater than the sum of our parts. We like when solutions are consistent and cost-effective but we value solving our customers problems above all else.

The Problems You’ll Solve 

  • Build a service framework that empowers the other engineers to focus on building their products instead of writing boilerplate code
  • Create tools that enable more effective debugging and monitoring in a distributed system
  • Migrate legacy systems to use all of the great tooling we're building without impacting production availability
  • Work with teams across the company to solve adhoc issues that span the entire stack
  • Promote standards and best practices on everything from API design to language specifics by collaborating and iterating on solutions with stakeholders
  • Set new projects up for success by helping them get started on our latest frameworks, libraries and tools

About You

You have 5+ years of backend experience working as an individual contributor. You are familiar with Python (or willing to learn it) but you might have another language in your toolbelt as well. Our stack today includes AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, CircleCI, Jenkins, Datadog, and gRPC but we value experience with similar technologies. You've worked in a monolithic environment and have felt the pain as organizations grow. Ideally you've helped transform that same environment to microservices. You identify as a generalist but are regarded by your peers as deeply knowledgeable in a specific area. You understand that technology is only a piece of the puzzle so you enjoy collaborating with others to help solve their problems. Those problems are usually lofty, complicated and ambiguous which is why your communications skills are honed and effective. You are extremely mission driven and are as excited about 0 to 1 projects as you are 1 to n.

Salary

Carta’s compensation package includes a market competitive salary, equity for all full time roles, exceptional benefits, and, for applicable roles, commissions plans. If you are located in New York, our expected cash compensation salary range for this role $161,500 - $290,000 (if applicable, + commission). We are hiring for multiple levels and locations, so final offers may vary from the amounts listed based on geography, experience and expertise, and other factors.

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to providing a positive interview experience for every candidate. If accommodations due to a disability or medical condition are needed, connect with us via email at recruiting@carta.com. As a company, we value fairness, helpfulness, transparency, leadership and build our teams around these values.
