Software Engineer, Product

Cursor
San Francisco, CA
Full Time

Job Description

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

About the Role

Product engineers create the software we ship to our users, in particular our editor. As a member of our core product team, you'll join us in inventing a new, better way to build software.


You may be a fit if

  • You've built a great product.

  • You blend excellent engineering with a taste for models and design.

  • You have a propensity for creative ideas and have a knack for making powerful tools without compromising their ease-of-use.


Sample projects include

  • Inventing new interfaces and UX for reviewing PRs of AI-generated code

  • Sprinting for two weeks to build a new product vertical from scratch (e.g., AI bug detection)

  • Running experiments and A/B tests on millions of users to push the frontier of agent quality - ex sub-agents, memories, and PR retrieval


Applying

If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 2-3 short technicals. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.
