Full-Time Principal Software Engineer

At Cube, we're building a technology stack for modern analytics. If you're fascinated by the software that powers large tech companies but want the freedom and challenges of a startup, then Cube is the place for you.

We're a small, dedicated team in San Francisco, funded by top-tier SV investors. We're working to make advanced analytics infrastructure, developed at large tech companies, accessible to all developers globally.

Here's a glimpse of the problems you'll tackle:

• SQL generation and rewriting: Cube simplifies SQL queries. We generate optimal SQL for any database, abstracting complexity and empowering users with full SQL control.
• Cube Store: Serving analytics for trillions of data points within milliseconds. We're developing our own database optimized for massive aggregated tables.
• Cube APM: Providing APM analytics for Cube instances using Cube itself. This presents unique challenges in large-scale real-time analytics.

Requirements:

• Expert in Rust, or a similar low-level language
• Strong communication skills
• Fluent English
• Startup experience or interest in a fast-paced, small company
