The Interview Process

Then, you’ll meet one of the leaders in the Platform organization who will walk you through the specifics of the position, the team structure, what we’re looking for, and of course, answer any questions you will have. This interview will last 45 minutes. Then, there’s a technical screen where you’ll be handed a technical exercise that is expected to be completed in a reasonable time but not take more than two hours. Finally, we will schedule you for another four to five meetings with other team members to discuss everything from coding and systems design to Carta’s culture and cross-team collaboration as well as what you can expect, and what is expected from you.
