The Company You’ll Join
At Carta we create owners and make private markets liquid.
We live in a world where some people live on the equity stack and enjoy exponential wealth growth and preferential tax treatment; others live on the debt stack and may work their entire lives for a company and retire only with the cash they’ve managed to save from their paychecks. Our contribution to solving the wealth inequality problem is moving people from the debt stack (payroll) to the equity stack. By making it as easy to issue equity to employees as it is to put them on payroll, we can create more owners.
At Carta, we are helpful, transparent, fair, and kind. We are relentless executors, unconventional thinkers, and masters of our craft.

The Team You’ll Work With
You will be joining our newest vertical at Carta called CartaX. The CartaX team is creating more owners by removing restrictions on when and how employees exercise equity. Our team is building a private stock market that will allow the trading of shares in return for liquidity for employees of pre-IPO companies. CartaX will be the world’s first vertically integrated financial marketplace for private securities.
The Problems You’ll Solve
As employees of pre IPO companies we are provided equity but the majority of individuals will fail to see a return as less than 2% of VC backed startups go public. This individual will be responsible for overseeing all transactions via CartaX, building tools around payment systems and security movement within the platform. Ultimately, you'll build tools that will provide equity owners access to assets that are historically restricted.
Some of the problems you’ll help us solve are:
- How to securely build internal tools for ops in order to manage money and securities.
- How to build internal account ledgers and integrating with 3rd parties and banking systems.
- How to manage integrations with 3rd parties integrations with Carta and various banking services.
