The Team You'll Work With

Every fund CFO’s office runs on spreadsheets, email threads, and a pile of portals that don’t talk to each other. We’re replacing all of it. Carta’s Investors business unit is building the system of record for private markets: the ledger, the books, the tax filings, the LP reporting, and the deal pipeline, all in one connected platform. Nearly 7,000 funds and SPVs and $150B in assets already run through it today.

Here’s the fun part: we’re not building another portal. We’re building a programmable back office. An expense lands in an inbox and gets coded to the right entity and staged for approval. A capital call goes out from a sentence. A K-1 is ready on day one. The software does the work, and customers reach it through the AI tools they already use.

It’s a pivotal moment for the business unit. The core is proven (90% of cash transactions reconciled in one day), and now we’re connecting it into a single platform that runs from fund financials to tax to LP reporting. You’ll join small, senior teams that blend startup-style speed with the rigor of software that moves real money.

We’re hiring multiple engineers, and you’ll be hired into the Investors business unit as a whole, then matched to a focus area based on your strengths and interests during our interview process. These focus areas include:

• Fund Financials: Ledger, expense allocation, and cash reconciliation. Get the numbers right, automatically, at scale.
• Tax and Compliance: K-1s, KYC, and audit trails. Compliance as code instead of compliance as a checklist.
• LP Management and Reporting: Capital calls, distributions, PCAPs, and tearsheets. Turn quarterly reporting from a scramble into a query.
