Job description
The Company You'll Join
At Carta we create owners and make private markets liquid.
We live in a world where some people live on the equity stack and enjoy exponential wealth growth and preferential tax treatment; others live on the debt stack and may work their entire lives for a company and retire only with the cash they've managed to save from their paychecks. Our contribution to solving the wealth inequality problem is moving people from the debt stack (payroll) to the equity stack. By making it as easy to issue equity to employees as it is to put them on payroll, we can create more owners.
At Carta, we are helpful, transparent, fair, and kind. We are relentless executors, unconventional thinkers, and masters of our craft.

The Team You'll Work With
We're looking for Senior Front End Engineers to join our new Carta Tax Advisory team. We see a huge potential to support employees of startups with private equity to make good financial decisions and planning related from their tax perspective.
As a nascent team with a huge business focus, you will get to work closely with business leaders, product managers and other engineers in the team. We believe in smaller teams to allow for greater focus and have an immense amount of ownership over the problems that we solve. We have a strong collaborative relationship between Business Operations, Product and Engineering. Being helpful is ingrained in our culture.
The Problems You'll Solve
You'll be solving complex engineering challenges focused on helping our consumers navigate tax and be less intimidated by the process. From building products that help educate employees on how to manage their wealth to making sound financial decisions. You would work to remove the barriers of entry for individual employees and help grow their personal wealth.
Some Of The Problems You Could Contribute To
- Collaborating with a small backend team to build a user friendly tax filing and advisory product and help define front end standards across our tax product
- Thinking about the long term front end code base for tax and build abstractions and standardized components to help in team productivity, coherence across the product lines and seamless experience between tax and other carta products
- Owning medium-to-large scale features to solve critical problems that employees (like me and you) at private companies face each day
As a Senior Front End Engineer your impact will be felt broadly across Carta. From building products that are used by 1M+ shareholders on Carta. Our teams are small, oftentimes operating like a "startup within a startup".
About You
You're a strong communicator and love coordinating and contributing to cross team efforts to tackle crucial business problems that impact the whole organization. You are a generalist who is comfortable working with ambiguity.
We are looking for someone with 5+ years of web development experience, with strong knowledge and experience in React.
