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.

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.
