The Team You’ll Work With

You’ll be joining our International Fund Administration (FA) team expanding Carta’s offering to international markets. You’ll be working with engineers, designers, product managers and business partners across Carta. You’ll find engineers that can teach you about software unique to our industry, and business team members with deep knowledge in accounting and venture fund management. Within your business unit, Fund Administration, you’ll meet teammates of all experience levels and backgrounds, passionate about creating software that some of the top venture firms to operate their funds. Weekly rituals, celebrations and show-and-tells are all ways you’ll build great bonds with the team you work alongside. You’ll be surrounded by people who find purpose in their work, and have fun doing it at the same time. You’ll find teammates with deep levels of pride in what they do, and a customer-obsessiveness that is furthered by regular feedback cycles. Importantly, you’ll find a higher than “normal” level of transparency, trust and autonomy - something Cartans (Carta employees) have celebrated since the earliest days of the startup.

We are migrating an entire service industry - Fund Administration - into software. Venture Capitalists, Fund Managers and practically any other investor involved in collective investment strategies use Fund Administrators to help operate their funds. The existing, service-based solutions are expensive, inefficient, and prone to human error. With the introduction of Carta’s event-based accounting platform, Carta is (and you are) positioned to unseat the incumbents, and revolutionize this industry.
