The Team You’ll Work With
You’ll enter our engineering interview process as part of a pooled hiring model. We believe in hiring for Carta first, focusing on your core strengths and technical craft rather than a specific team’s immediate gap.
Staff Engineers at Carta are technical anchors for our business. You don’t just own features, you take long-term accountability for the technical health and strategic direction of different domains.
The Problems You’ll Solve
As a Staff Engineer, you are responsible for the long-term technical health and success of your business unit. You’ll work to:
- Navigate Ambiguity: Tackle the most complex and poorly defined problems at Carta, breaking them down into navigable paths for the rest of the organization.
- Champion Systemic Improvement: Identify and eliminate failure patterns across multiple systems, driving architectural changes that improve scalability and reliability.
- Bridge Technical Gaps: Use your deep understanding of cross-functional domains to align multiple teams on major technical decisions.
- Define the AI Frontier: Lead the charge in transforming how we build by defining the context and building the rails that allow every person at Carta to leverage AI tools safely and effectively.
- Uphold Engineering Standards: Set the vision for operational excellence and mentor senior engineers to raise the collective craft of the organization.
About You
- The Tech Stack: You are an expert in building distributed systems. While our primary stack is Python/Django, React, and Postgres, you should be comfortable guiding technical direction across JVM languages, gRPC, and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS).
- Leadership: You lead through influence rather than authority, acting as a role model for constructive communication and technical discipline.
- Vision: You don't just solve the problem in front of you; you anticipate future roadblocks and build systems that support long-term business growth.
- Experience: We recommend 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of high-level technical leadership.
