Cubic operates dual-revenue businesses: Cubic Defense (mission systems and C4ISR for military/government) and Cubic Transportation Systems (fare payment, traffic management, and mobility platforms for transit authorities). The tech stack is enterprise-heavy—SAP, Oracle Primavera, Salesforce—with modern cloud and containerization (AWS, Kubernetes, React/Angular) layered atop legacy systems. Hiring is heavily weighted toward engineering (118 of 227 roles), with accelerating velocity across senior and mid-level engineers across nine countries, signaling either large contract wins or scaling of SaaS transportation products.
Notable leadership hires: Director Subcontracts, Software Development Lead, Customer Service Lead, Finance Director
Cubic is a 5,000–10,000-person systems integrator and software provider split between defense mission solutions and transportation technology. The defense business delivers C4ISR, command systems, and mission-critical software to government and military customers. The transportation business provides fare collection platforms (UMO, Cflex), traffic management systems, and operational analytics to transit agencies globally. Core pain points center on meeting budget and schedule constraints on large projects, ensuring SLA compliance, minimizing downtime, and improving data accuracy. The company's project backlog reflects both sustained maintenance and new deployments—traffic control rollouts, ATM/ASCT systems installations, and a North American SaaS pipeline for mobility platforms.
