- Adhere to test-driven development (TDD), maintain high levels of code coverage and automation
- Conduct timely and thoughtful peer code review
- Leverage logging and monitoring of platforms to improve observability
- Instrument system performance and business metrics
- Mentor and grow junior developers
This will be a unique opportunity to have an impact not just within our product space, but also across teams within Carta.

The Interview Process
Our team believes that interviews are a two-way process and we strive to make them enjoyable without any “gotchas.” We do not do LeetCode-style interviews, no one will quiz you on writing a doubly-linked list :D
The interview process starts with a call with a member of our recruiting team who will tell you more about the job and the company. Then, you’ll meet the engineering lead, who will walk you through the specifics of the position, the team structure, what we’re looking for, and of course, answer any questions you will have. We’ll then ask you to show off your skills with a real-world take home exercise (we do not do LeetCode-style interviews, no one will quiz you on writing a doubly-linked list). Finally, we will schedule you for another four or five meetings with other team members to discuss everything from Carta’s culture to cross-team collaboration and what you can expect, and what is expected from you.
We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to providing a positive interview experience for every candidate. If accommodations due to a disability or medical condition are needed, please connect with the recruiter via email. As a company, we value fairness, helpfulness, transparency, leadership and build our teams around these values.
