Remote flexibility
Undisclosed
The listing is advertised as remote but does not state which countries or regions candidates may work from.
Why this role is Undisclosed
We only label a role Work from anywhere, Region restricted or Work from home when the employer's own wording says so. We checked this advert under our current rules and found no country or region eligibility requirement in it. We don't guess, so it stays Undisclosed until the employer publishes enough location information. Here is exactly what the advert left out.
- Countries you can work from: Not stated. The advert only gives "Remote", which names no country you must live in.
- Whether the work is remote: Never mentioned. The role reached us through a remote job board, but the advert itself doesn't say the work is remote.
- Working hours: Not stated. No timezone overlap or set hours are mentioned, so assume nothing either way.
Worth a look all the same. Missing wording is usually a rushed job posting rather than a closed door, so ask where you can be based in your first message, before you write a tailored application.
What the employer says
- Source listing states candidate location: "Remote"
What Nomaders makes of it
- No residency or region requirement found in the job description
- Check with the employer before assuming you can work from abroad
The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.
About the role
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
We're hiring a Regional Director, Field Engineering to build and lead a high-impact pre-sales Field Engineering team within one of our key industry verticals: High Tech, Retail, Life Sciences, Financial Services, Public Sector, Aerospace, or Healthcare.

As the Regional Director, Field Engineering, you'll manage and develop Field Engineers who partner closely with AEs to run technical discovery, demos, and proofs of concept with the largest and most complex accounts in your vertical.

This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial leadership role for someone who combines deep vertical expertise, technical fluency, strong people management, and the drive to build something from scratch.
What you'll do
Lead, coach, and scale a team of Field Engineers supporting enterprise opportunities within your vertical
Partner closely with Sales leadership and AEs to drive high-quality technical discovery, demos, and POCs with strategic and Fortune 500 accounts
Own the 0-to-1 build-out of the vertical Field Engineering practice — including field events, industry-specific collateral, customer stories, and deep executive relationship building
Establish best practices for evaluations, proof-of-concept execution, and technical deal strategy tailored to the buyers, compliance requirements, and workflows of your vertical
Serve as an escalation point for complex customer evaluations and high-stakes enterprise deals
Hire, onboard, and develop top-tier Field Engineering talent with relevant vertical experience; set clear expectations and career paths
Act as the voice of the field internally, feeding vertical-specific customer and prospect insights back to Product and Engineering
Ensure tight handoffs with post-sales teams to support successful customer onboarding and adoption
Maintain deep knowledge of Cursor's product, roadmap, and competitive landscape
You may be a fit if
You have 3+ years leading Field Engineers, Solutions Architects, or Pre-Sales teams focused on a specific vertical or strategic/Fortune 500 accounts
You have demonstrated expertise selling to or supporting accounts in one or more of our target verticals (High Tech, Retail, Life Sciences, Finserv, Public Sector, Aerospace, Healthcare), and direct industry background is a strong plus
You have a proven track record selling to and engaging technical buyers, developers, architects, CTOs, and their equivalents in regulated or complex industries
You have a strong technical foundation and fluency in modern software development workflows, AI tooling, and developer productivity
You have an entrepreneurial drive, and are comfortable building from zero, creating enablement assets, running field events, and developing the vertical playbook without a template to follow
You have a proven ability to partner effectively with Sales while maintaining technical integrity and customer trust
You have strong communication skills and executive presence, able to engage across technical and business stakeholders at the largest accounts in your industry
