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.

You’re energized by technical products and can hold credible conversations with senior engineers, platform leaders, and CTOs about how Cursor fits into modern development workflows
