Senior Platform Engineer

We're on a mission to help every company hit their numbers.

The world has evolved, but business planning has not. Most Finance teams still manage their planning and analysis in spreadsheets, yet the ones who replace them end up going back over 80% of the time. Cube is the first spreadsheet-native FP&A platform to deliver faster planning and performance without changing how teams work.  Cube’s powerful engine connects into existing spreadsheets and source systems, delivering all of the benefits of enterprise-level FP&A with none of the headaches.

To date, Cube has raised over $45M of venture capital from top tier investors such as Battery Ventures and Mayfield. Together, we’re building a culture that challenges and celebrates everyone with a path to grow. That’s where you come in! We’re happily headquartered in New York City, but are foremost a remote-first company. This means we communicate, collaborate, and connect virtually across different time zones. As we enter our next phase of growth, we believe Cubers are the reason we win.

Where Reliability Meets Innovation: Come Shape Our Platform.

About the Role:

Cube is hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Engineering Team across the US and Canada. Our goal as a company is to create an extremely simple and straightforward product in an industry (Financial Planning and Analysis, FP&A) that deals with complex data and modeling.

As a team, we’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to take ownership of the systems and tools used by our engineering teams and foster a culture of continuous improvement, communication, and collaboration. 

As a valued member of our team, you’ll partner closely with all of our Engineering teams. You��ll report to the VP of Engineering. This is an excellent opportunity to come into a focused team and build out processes and structures that will elevate the entire Engineering department.
