The Problems You’ll Solve We’re rewriting how companies use equity to empower their people. We help businesses unite founders, investors and employees through better equity management and greater access to liquidity – no more waiting for the company to IPO. In the last few years, we’ve become a leader in our field, providing the easiest way for 1000s of private companies to digitize their equity information and manage employee share schemes. There are no longer any excuses for denying employees a share of the wealth they helped to create. As part of Carta Europe, you’ll help building our Capdesk from Carta product - which is the #1 equity management platform on the market. You’ll have a chance to have a big impact on our rapidly growing European offering and work across the stack to deliver customer-facing features, where you can directly measure the impact of your contributions. Our tech stack: Our frontend infrastructure is composed of two micro-frontend applications. We’re phasing out our legacy AngularJS stack in favor of our new React/TypeScript stack. Our designers create wireframes and prototypes in Figma. Our design system is created using Storybook and can be viewed here: https://camo.capdesk.com/ Our back-end runs on Ruby on Rails, using PostgreSQL and Redis. Our infrastructure runs on Heroku (we like to keep it simple). We use a few amazing, best of the market tools: Datadog, Sentry, LaunchDarkly.
