About the role

Forward Deployed Engineers embed with customer engineering teams to ship production-grade Cursor workflows that measurably improve how they build software, owning end-to-end delivery from discovery to post-production support across multiple cities.

Responsibilities

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

Qualifications

  • Thrives in ambiguity and can turn fuzzy problems into clear scopes and shipped systems
  • Built and owned AI-native workflows in production and debugged real-world model failures
  • Comfortable leading discovery conversations and accountable for customer outcomes
  • Able to build end-to-end (frontend, backend, infra, or prompt iteration) and own it
  • Experience with production reliability (metrics, alerts, safe rollouts, incident response)
  • Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript and ability to ramp on new stacks
