About The Position
The Developer Experience (DevEx) team is a lean "Special Ops" unit within Carta's Infrastructure organization. Their goal is to remove friction from every step of the software delivery lifecycle so Carta's engineers can do the best work of their careers.

This team consists of systems thinkers who measure everything to optimize processes. Carta is making a company-wide bet on AI-native development, and DevEx is the team defining how that happens. This role offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of defining and implementing AI-native development practices.
