Senior Product Designer, CartaX

The Team You’ll Work With

You will be joining our newest vertical at Carta called CartaX. The CartaX team creates more owners by removing restrictions on when and how employees exercise equity. Our team is building a greenfield marketplace that will allow the trading of shares in return for liquidity for employees of pre-IPO companies. CartaX will be the world’s first vertically integrated financial marketplace for private securities.

The design team works across all projects on CartaX—from our marketing branding system, our in-app product design system, our web and mobile products, and also our public-facing websites. 

The Problems You’ll Solve

The design team collaborates with our product and engineering teams to develop and build the customer-facing workflows that drive interaction with our transaction platform as well as help define requirements for complex, large-scale initiatives. Crafting user-focused experiences is a key focus of our team because we have a wide spectrum of users who rely on the product for an understanding of their ownership options.

Some of the problems you’ll help us solve are:

• Convert complex, multi-user, transactional offline processes into delightful self-service products
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Business, and Data to uncover customer insights and influence strategy to help define and execute the roadmap
• Design flows, prototypes, sketches, and testing for your features
• Drive in weekly design workshops and act as a mentor for junior designers
• Discover ways to consistently scale and leverage shareable components for web and mobile applications
