The posting

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

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. This role will be based in all 3 cities: Bengaluru, New Delhi and Mumbai.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- 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

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
