About the role

Engineering Manager leading Cursor’s Agent & Product Security team to make agentic software development trustworthy, defining security primitives and infrastructure for agent autonomy, identity, delegated authority, policy enforcement, and secure tool execution within Cursor’s product and agents.

Responsibilities

  • Chart the path from supervised agents to trusted autonomous ones: define the security primitives that enable agent autonomy, and lead the team that builds them.
  • Engineer the isolation that makes Cursor safe to run inside customers’ most valuable codebases: tenancy, workspace, secret, and data protections designed for real adversaries.
  • Build the authority infrastructure autonomous agents need: identity, scoped permissions, policy enforcement, and secure tool execution, so an agent can hold real responsibility with verifiable limits and full accountability.
  • Build customer-facing security controls that are understandable, usable, and strong enough for Cursor’s most security-sensitive customers, with crisp success metrics for security outcomes.
  • Hire, coach, and grow a high-performing security engineering team while staying technically close to the work: write and review code where useful, and keep execution fast and technically grounded.

Qualifications

  • Led engineering teams shipping production systems with high security, reliability, or platform stakes.
  • Strong product and systems judgment: ability to reason from user workflows to architecture, threat models, enforcement points, and operational tradeoffs.
  • Understanding of modern application security, authorization, tenancy, identity, secrets, data isolation, and secure-by-default platform design.
  • Good instincts about AI agents: tool usage, authority design, prompt injection and exfiltration mitigations against adversaries.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and setting strategy with thin precedent while staying close to implementation.
  • Ability to partner across product, infrastructure, ML, and customer-facing teams.
