We value focus time

While we use calendar tools to automatically create large blocks of focus time throughout the week, we also encourage engineers to block off their best focus time. You know if you're a morning person or a night owl, and we want you to be set up for success.

Each engineer can expect to be in less than six hours of meetings during a typical two-week sprint:

Daily 15-minute stand-ups
One 1-hour retro per sprint
Two 1-hour ticket refinements
Any 1:1s with your manager

Benefits & Perks

Egos left at the door

We embrace a high level of ownership. This means the team works together to decide on solutions instead of taking orders from management. We leave our egos at the door and respect everybody's experience.

Getting your perspective

We encourage Request For Comment (RFC) documents for larger changes to our codebase, which allows everyone on the team, regardless of experience or tenure, to suggest improvements to how we build.

Knowledge sharing is key

We value thorough documentation both within our codebase (through standardized doc-string comments) and alongside it (with Confluence write-ups to explain core functionality and architecture decisions).

High test coverage

Quality leads to stable releases, happy customers, and easy refactoring. We maintain 90%+ code coverage on average across our repos, and we're striving for even more.

HQ'd in NYC

We love using New York City as a hub for community and collaboration but prioritize clear communication to accommodate Cubers living across the US and Canada.

With many employees working remotely, we know how important it is to stay flexible.

Flex days

We have "Flex Days" built in throughout the year that everyone at Cube takes off to enjoy a long weekend. We use this as an opportunity to recharge and celebrate all the hard work that we do.

How we interview

Questions?

Ask the Chief Architect

Hire smart people, provide high-level direction, then stay out of the way.

This is the foundation to my management philosophy and one of the reasons I enjoy startups. It provides the opportunity to find smart people, give them a common goal, and then stand back, help where needed, and watch it unfold. As a manager, I see one of my main jobs as shielding the team from various distractions and roadblocks, and clearing a path for the team to get the important work done.
