Software Engineer, Product
Brief overview
About the company
Cursor is an AI coding agent built to help developers build ambitious software faster. Its agents turn ideas into code and accelerate development by taking on end-to-end tasks.
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.
We're in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco and Manhattan, New York, replete with well-stocked libraries.
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.
