About you

This is a fully remote role! We are currently able to accept applications from the following countries: UK, Denmark, and Canada however this is reviewed on a regular basis and we will update accordingly.

We're looking for engineers with experience delivering value. You've put important features into production and want to keep shipping more. Maybe you’d like to have more autonomy and have a bigger impact. Maybe you miss faster, simpler and easier times back when you could solely focus on creating amazing features.

Well, well, what a happy coincidence! This is where Capdesk from Carta is right now. We have so much to build and tons of interesting opportunities to chase. We want to grow, but at a controlled pace. We're not on an uncontrolled hypergrowth journey and when it comes to hiring, we value quality over quantity.

You'll be building new features, improving existing code and collaborating with a team of highly driven and motivated individuals. You're autonomous, able to wrap your head around complex problems and curious to dig into the world of fintech. You like to ship iteratively and to consistently improve the code, leaving it better than it was when you first read it.

You enjoy collaborating with designers and product managers. You have a certain design sensibility that helps you communicate with such stakeholders and elaborate solutions together. You can break down a complex problem into a solution that provides a rich user experience and implement solutions in a scalable future-proof way.

Bonus points if you have an opinion on the various front-end frameworks that exist and would enjoy contributing to a design system!

As a senior joining our team you'll have a golden opportunity to shape how we work and build things at Capdesk from Carta. You’re being brought on board to lead the change, not to be a passenger. Your voice will be heard and you will be given ample opportunities to influence the things you're passionate about.
