Senior Software Engineer I, Valuations San Francisco, California

Carta connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world‑class software, purpose‑built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit. Trusted by 65,000+ companies in 160+ countries, Carta’s platform of software and services lays the groundwork so you can build, invest, and scale with confidence.

Carta’s Fund Administration platform supports 9,000+ funds and SPVs, representing nearly $185B in assets under management, with tools designed to enhance the strategic impact of fund CFOs. Recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc. and Great Places to Work, Carta is shaping the future of private market infrastructure.

Together, Carta is creating the end‑to‑end ERP platform for private markets. Traditional ERP solutions don’t work for Private Funds. Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers. Carta’s software for the Office of the Fund CFO does just that – it’s a new category of software to make private markets look more like public markets – a connected ERP for private capital.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be building and shaping our industry‑standard Valuations products. In particular, you’ll be one of the key contributors in building new features, improving operational efficiency and minimizing technical debt.

We pair Carta’s cap table network with investor workflows to enable consistent, scalable valuations across LLCs and C‑corps, supporting allocation models such as waterfall, option pricing, and common‑stock‑equivalent. We prioritize transparency and auditability through structured exports and valuation histories, allowing finance teams and auditors to trace assumptions and results. We also use AI across the product and our development process—to assist customers, surface anomalies, and accelerate execution.
