Responsibilities

  • 01Lead discovery with customer engineers to identify the real bottleneck and define clear success metrics
  • 02Design and build Cursor-powered workflows (e.g., large-scale refactors, migrations, PR review loops, incident → fix pipelines, spec → implementation systems)
  • 03Ship a fast first version in days, then harden it into something reliable over weeks with proper rollout plans, monitoring, and iteration based on real usage
  • 04Own production quality: tracing, evals, metrics, debugging model behavior, latency/cost tradeoffs, and failure modes
  • 05Work directly with Staff+/Platform/Eng leaders — going deep in code while also communicating clearly about tradeoffs and results
  • 06Turn what you build into reusable patterns and push improvements back into the core Cursor product

Requirements

  • 01You thrive in ambiguity and can turn fuzzy problems into clear scopes and shipped systems
  • 02You’ve built and owned AI-native workflows in production, not just prototypes, and have debugged real-world model failures
  • 03You’re comfortable leading discovery conversations and being accountable for customer outcomes
  • 04You build end-to-end - if it needs frontend, backend, infra, or prompt iteration, you’ll own it
  • 05You’ve handled production reliability before (metrics, alerts, safe rollouts, incident response)
  • 06You’re strong in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript and can ramp quickly on new stacks
