The Company You’ll Join

Carta connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world-class software, purpose-built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit.

Carta’s fund administration platform supports nearly 7,000 funds and SPVs, representing $150B in assets under administration in venture capital and private equity. Trusted by more than 40,000 companies, Carta also helps private businesses in over 160 countries manage their cap tables, valuations, taxes, equity programs, compensation, and more.

Together, Carta is creating the end-to-end ERP platform for private markets. Traditional ERP solutions don’t work for Private Funds.

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.

The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. To do this well, we must continuously raise the bar on software quality—without compromising developer velocity.

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer, you won’t just be writing tests—you’ll be a force multiplier for quality across the engineering organization. You’ll work across multiple product teams to drive a strategic shift: from QA as a safety net to quality as a shared responsibility, embedded into every part of the development lifecycle.

You’ll lead efforts to identify critical coverage gaps, implement and scale test automation frameworks, and roll out self-service tools that enable developers to write, run, and promote tests with confidence. You’ll partner closely with embedded QAs, developers, and platform teams to shift QA towards an enablement model that amplifies impact across teams.

You’ll help pilot new ways of working that reduce manual effort, catch defects earlier, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio in our CI pipeline—whether through smarter automation, better tooling, or new AI-integrated approaches to test reliability and triage. Ultimately, your work will help Carta move faster without sacrificing confidence—by making automated quality an invisible but essential part of our software delivery process.

The Team You'll Work With

The QA Organization consists of ~15 QAs who work closely with our Product, Engineering, and Support teams. We work cross-functionally across the organization to make sure we are testing our product before our clients get to use them. This is a highly visible and critical role to help define and implement QA processes within different teams, plus help with manual and automation testing to test our products thoroughly and deliver with high quality.

About You

• Fluency in English with strong written and verbal communication skills (we communicate closely with global teams on a daily basis!)
• 5+ years of experience in an Automation Engineering role
• Strong ability and expertise in creating automated tests in Python and Selenium
• Strong programming expertise in one OOP language like Python, Java, JS or Go (Python preferred)
• Understanding of CI/CD and hands on experience with building and deployment tools like CircleCI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Docker
• Strong experience with automation design patterns, with proven experience in both backend and frontend projects
• Strong knowledge in cloud infrastructure and container orchestration (Kubernetes preferred)
• You have the ability to understand the technical needs for the teams and help them implement QA processes and mindset
• You are a self-starter who thrives on solving open-ended problems, not just executing Jira tickets
• You identify patterns and recurring issues proactively and build scalable solutions to reduce future friction
• You have a track record of advancing quality maturity by shifting QA from hands-on execution to developer enablement through self-service tooling and process improvements
• You are passionate about mentoring junior level team members to help them grow and learn

Please note: Please submit your resume in English. This role will be hybrid in our Rio office.
