Forward Deployed Engineer

Additional details

• 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.
• You are responsible for systems that work in the real world.
• 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
