Remote Senior Backend Engineer - US/Canada

Remote Full-time
This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: United States, Canada

Cube is 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 a cloud-based FP&A platform that helps companies hit their numbers without sacrificing their spreadsheets.

Cube is backed by top-tier investors such as Battery Ventures and Mayfield. Together, we’re building a culture that challenges and celebrates everyone with a path to growth. We’re guided by our company values: act with urgency, keep it simple, build with joy, obsess over the details, own the outcome, raise the bar, champion our customers, and win together. As we enter our next phase of growth, we believe having the right Cubers on our team will be the reason we win.
About the Role

Cube is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Engineering team. At Cube, we’re motivated by supporting people in typically unsung roles like Finance. Our mission is to create an extremely simple and intuitive product in an industry—Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)—that is inherently complex. Simply stated: we’re on a mission to help every company hit their numbers.

We’re looking for a senior engineer who thrives in the middle of complex systems—not just greenfield projects—and who takes pride in evolving large, long-lived codebases under real business constraints. This role carries meaningful ownership and influence across the team and the product.

You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success, and you’ll report to one of our Engineering Managers. This is a great opportunity to help shape not just systems, but how we work as an engineering organization.
