The Team You’ll Work With
Our platform business unit is responsible for everything from core cloud-based infrastructure to service meshes, identity services, document storage, integrations with banks and HR systems, money movement, and tooling for financial equity analysis. We also incubate new product ideas for Carta.
You’ll join a small, cross-functional team as a Staff Software Engineer. Day-to-day, you’ll have opportunities to partner closely with other engineers, product managers, and business leaders. 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 Product and Engineering. Being helpful is ingrained in our culture.
The Problems You’ll Solve
The Events Platform team builds solutions to capture and surface domain events and change data for all services at Carta. This platform is critical, enabling and evangelizing event driven architecture at Carta. The team is responsible for core infrastructure offerings including maintaining Kafka, Debezium and Change Data Capture cloud services; for core platform offerings including Carta’s database auditing system and domain event generation/consumption libraries; and some product offerings including our event based notification system.
Some of the problems you could be solving include:

How can we build and scale Carta’s Audit system?
How can we go from zero to MVP on a new Carta product offering?
How can we analyze complex business logic and distill domain events out of it?
How can we turn historical batch tasks into realtime, low latency services?
How can we improve developer experience with streaming technology?
How can we leverage domain events to improve data consistency and facilitate monolith decomposition?

About You
You have strong technical skills, are excited by projects that create scale, and enjoy working closely with stakeholders across engineering as well as product. You continually strive to improve your craft of creating complex software products. You see communication as one of your strengths.
You have 8+ years of full-stack or backend engineering experience, and experience architecting complex SaaS products with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices. You have industry experience developing scalable production quality backend systems. You have experience with microservices, Kafka experience required.
