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.
Carta’s fund administration platform supports nearly 7,000 funds and SPVs, representing $150B in assets under administration in venture capital and private equity. Trusted by more than 40,000 companies, Carta also helps private businesses in over 160 countries manage their cap tables, valuations, taxes, equity programs, compensation, and more.
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 Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers.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
The Events Platform team builds solutions to capture and surface domain events and change data for all services at Carta. This platform is critical, enabling and evangelizing event driven architecture at Carta. The team is responsible for core infrastructure offerings including maintaining Kafka, Debezium and Change Data Capture cloud services; for core platform offerings including Carta’s database auditing system and domain event generation/consumption libraries; and some product offerings including our event based notification system.
Some of the problems you could be solving include:
- How can we build auditable products using domain events and real-time change data?
- How can we encapsulate complex business logic into meaningful domain events?
- How can we accelerate building derived products via domain events?
- How can we simplify and enhance the developer experience with streaming technologies?
- How can we multiply the value of events outside of product-to-product communication?
- How can we build a platform that offers decentralized event ownership, federated governance and drives reusable event-driven products?
