What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Engineer position at Cursor?
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 Field Engineer to own the first-mile experience for customers adopting Cursor. This role focuses on delivering high-quality, repeatable onboarding sessions — from Cursor 101s to foundational demos — that help teams quickly understand and realize value.
You’ll partner closely with Field Engineers as an overlay on enterprise and strategic accounts. While they focus on deep technical strategy and complex engagements, you’ll specialize in activation: running crisp, engaging sessions that drive early adoption and set the foundation for deeper work.
We’re in-person with offices in San Francisco and New York, and value tight collaboration across GTM, Product, and Engineering.
