Job description
Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly with customer engineering teams to ship production-grade Cursor workflows that measurably improve how they build software.
You'll figure out what's actually slowing a team down, design a practical solution, and own it end-to-end - from first discovery call through launch, iteration, and post-production support. This is not a demo role. You are responsible for systems that work in the real world., * Lead discovery with customer engineers to identify the real bottleneck and define clear 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, then harden it into something reliable over weeks with proper rollout plans, monitoring, and iteration based on real usage
- Own production quality: tracing, evals, metrics, debugging model behavior, latency/cost tradeoffs, and failure modes
- Work directly with Staff+/Platform/Eng leaders - going deep in code while also communicating clearly about tradeoffs and results
- Turn what you build into reusable patterns and push improvements back into the core Cursor product
You may be a fit if
- You thrive in ambiguity and can turn fuzzy problems into clear scopes and shipped systems.
- You've built and owned AI-native workflows in production - not just prototypes - and have debugged real-world model failures
- You're comfortable leading discovery conversations and being accountable for customer outcomes
- You build end-to-end. If it needs frontend, backend, infra, or prompt iteration, you'll own it
- You've handled production reliability before (metrics, alerts, safe rollouts, incident response)
- You're strong in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript and can ramp quickly on new stacks
