Director of Engineering

Department: Engineering

Location: New York, New York

Compensation: $220K – $240K • Offers Equity

Employment Type: FullTime

Cube is the financial intelligence platform built for the AI-era.

The world has evolved, but FP&A is still trapped in manual reconciliation cycles. While most platforms try to replace the spreadsheets finance teams love, Cube is different: we are the intelligent finance layer that unifies fragmented data into a centralized command center. By automating data management, we empower the Office of the CFO to stop moving numbers and start driving the strategic analysis that turns data into growth.

We don’t compete with AI; we make it trustworthy. In a world where AI is often only 80% right, Cube provides the 100% truth and governance finance teams need to turn data into growth. Our mission is clean data, everywhere, allowing the modern Office of the CFO to move beyond manual data management and lead with strategic certainty.

Cube has raised >$65M and 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.

Note: This position requires working onsite at our New York office Tuesday through Thursday. 

About the Role:

• Manage and mentor our EMs and TPM, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement. Act as the primary operational partner to the CTO, taking full ownership of the engineering organization’s health and delivery. Define and track the "meta-metrics" of the team. Not just features shipped, but developer velocity, deployment frequency, and the reduction of "toil" through the tools you build.

• Act as a high-level individual contributor for internal engineering tooling. You will design and ship the set of tools, AI workflows, and automated safeguards that allow our engineers to move with the speed and impact of a team triple that size. Continuously research and prototype new ways of working. Whether it’s implementing AI-generated unit tests or connecting Product requirements to automated pipelines, you are the primary driver of our internal technical tooling.

• Partner with our TPM, Product, and Customer Success to align the engineering roadmap with business outcomes, ensuring we are always working on the highest-leverage tasks.

Who you are:

• You have experience leading engineering teams (ideally 15-30+ people) through growth and evolution.

• You have an insatiable need to understand how things work and, more importantly, how they could work better. You are the person who experiments with a new LLM agent or a niche developer tool simply because you want to see if it can shave 20% off a build time or automate a tedious code review.

• You are an active practitioner of AI-assisted development (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, LLMs) and have opinions on how to integrate these tools into a professional SDLC in an intentional manner.

• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to communicate effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You can bridge the gap between deep technical trade-offs and executive-level business goals.

• You have deep experience with distributed systems (Celery, Redis, MySQL) and know how to maintain system health while moving fast.

• Demonstrated experience managing engineering organizations within SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA environments. You understand how to maintain a high-velocity shipping culture while meeting strict audit and security requirements.

Tech Stack:

• Our front-end is written in React.

• Our back-end is written in Python and built using Django and Django REST Framework.

• Our infrastructure is hosted within AWS and is built using infrastructure as code with CDK.

• Our systems leverage Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, MySQL, and ClickHouse.

• Our processes are driven by automation, experimentation, observability, and security. 

The expectations above are meant to represent the ideal candidate, but if you don’t meet all of them and think you’d be a great fit for this role, please apply. This position is open to candidates who are authorized to work in the posted location. Immigration sponsorship is not available at this time.

Full-Time Employee Benefits

• We provide 100% covered employee medical, dental, and vision insurance options, including FSA/HSA options plus free memberships to OneMedical, Teladoc, and Talkspace.

• Our flexible paid vacation and sick/mental health time guidelines help you get the time and space you need.

• We offer stock options to all full-time employees of Cube, as we want you to be connected to the success of the company.

• We offer 12 weeks of 100% paid parental leave for the birthing parent.

• We offer each Cuber a quarterly learning budget to spend on books, classes, or events that support your development.

• You’ll be joining an experienced team of tech startup leaders who are eager to work with you and provide support and mentorship!

• You’ll work for a company that our customers are truly excited about!
