Full-Stack Engineer @ CueBox, Performing Arts Software Startup

CueBox is an early-stage startup building all-in-one software for performing arts and cultural organizations. These organizations inspire, connect and delight us; yet, they’ve been underserved by technology providers. Our product saves them time and grows their revenue by streamlining fundraising, ticketing, marketing, education and more, which is why we have such a fast-growing and happy customer base!

We are quickly expanding into more segments across the country, and we’re looking for a talented and driven engineer to help our small team.

CueBox is headquartered in New York City, and we are a hybrid workplace. Our team is in the office 3 days a week, Tuesday–Thursday.

We are looking for backend-leaning full-stack engineers who love building delightful and performant products, are excited to work hard at a mission-oriented startup, and want to collaborate with us in shaping the culture of a growing team!
