Software Engineer @ CueBox, Early Stage Startup in NYC

About CueBox

CueBox is an early stage startup building modern software for performing arts and cultural organizations (like your favorite orchestra, theater, dance troupe, etc). These organizations are vital to society; they inspire, connect and delight us. Yet, these organizations have been traditionally underserved by technology. We’re changing that and helping them thrive. Our product meaningfully increases our customers' revenue and saves them time by streamlining workflows in fundraising, ticketing, marketing, education and more.

We have a fast growing and happy customer base, expanding into more segments across the country and internationally, and we are looking to add a talented and driven engineer to 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.
