Senior Software Engineer, Money Movement

At Carta, we’re building the future of equity and ownership. We’ve changed how companies, investors, and employees manage equity. Now, we’re transforming how capital markets operate. Our goal is to create more owners and increase transparency and liquidity for shareholders. More than 800,000 investors, law firms, and employees use our platform, and we manage over $575B in equity.

About Carta(X)

In 2019, we raised $300 million in order to build the first ever “private stock market” called CartaX. Less than 2% of VC backed startups go public and when they do IPO it's not always in the employees favor. To solve this problem, we are building the first ever trading platform that will allow employees of pre-IPO companies to trade private securities within a regulated marketplace. CartaX will be the world’s first vertically integrated financial marketplace for private securities which matches buyers and sellers using auction based technology. We believe this product will fundamentally change the way private companies view liquidity, going public and how employees exercise their options.

This individual will lead the development of CartaX post-trade processing platform, based on distributed architecture principles. They’ll be responsible for overseeing all transactions via CartaX, building tools around payment systems and security movement within the platform. This person will also be responsible for building internal account ledgers and integrating with 3rd parties and banking systems.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities 1 . To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily self-identify as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment because you did not identify as having a disability earlier.

How do I know if I have a disability?
