Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer on the Research Tools team, you'll build the infrastructure and applications that enable researchers to iterate quickly, run complex experiments, and extract insights. This is a full-stack product-engineering role.

You'll work directly with researchers and engineers to deeply understand their workflows, identify bottlenecks, and rapidly ship solutions that multiply their productivity. Your work will directly accelerate Cursor's mission of building frontier AI models.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain full-stack applications and infrastructure for researchers
• Own complete product areas from user needs through design, implementation, and iteration
• Create reusable platforms and tools that speed up new research applications
• Partner with research teams to turn their workflows and pain points into intuitive interfaces and abstractions

Requirements:

• Experience building tools, platforms, or infrastructure for technical users
• Shipped full-stack products and owned systems from user interface to storage or services
• Built dense, data-facing tools such as transcript viewers or operational dashboards
• Strong product instincts and ability to identify the right problems to solve
