Description

The Company You’ll Join

Carta is a software company that connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world-class software, purpose-built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit.

The Team You’ll Work With

You'll join our Developer Experience (DevEx) team, a lean "Special Ops" unit within Carta's Infrastructure organization. Our North Star: remove friction from every step of the software delivery lifecycle so Carta's engineers can do the best work of their careers.

The Problems You’ll Solve

As a Senior Software Engineer II on DevEx, you will:

  • Build the MCP servers, agents, and plugin infrastructure that Carta's AI native development runs on, and define the patterns other engineers follow
  • Design and ship agents purpose-built to solve specific developer problems across the software delivery lifecycle
  • Architect and drive CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, and deployment to accelerate delivery across R&D
  • Build the infrastructure AI tooling runs on, so other engineers can build on top of it with confidence
  • Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through code reviews and architectural guidance

About You

  • Experience: 8+ years in platform, backend, or fullstack engineering
  • AI Builder: You've shipped production LLM systems, whether that's MCP servers or clients, AI extensions, connectors, or agents designed to solve real problems, not just demos
  • Platform Mindset: You build things other engineers build on top of and think about APIs and developer ergonomics as seriously as performance
  • Tech Stack: Python or Java; CI/CD tooling (CircleCI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Docker); cloud-native (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes); familiarity with secrets management tooling (Vault, Cloudsmith) is a plus
  • Security Aware: You think about least-privilege, token lifecycle, and supply chain risks when designing developer tooling, not just after an incident
  • Execution: You break down ambiguous problems and deliver with minimal guidance, bringing data to debates and owning outcomes end-to-end

Salary

Carta’s compensation package includes a market competitive salary, equity for all full time roles, exceptional benefits, and, for applicable roles, commissions plans. Our minimum cash compensation (salary + commission if applicable) range for this role is: $212,500 - $250,000 in Santa Clara, CA; San Francisco, CA; New York, NY
