## Description

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.

As an early member of our data science team, you'll help define the way the company uses data to make decisions and deliver a high-quality experience to millions of users across billions of user-AI interactions.

Responsibilities:

- Design and operationalize metrics that measure the stability of product surfaces and the agent harness

- Build a measurement and rollout framework to prevent, detect, and root cause performance regressions

- Partner with engineers on data tooling that enables self-serve analysis

- Identify performance and reliability experiences that disproportionately cause user frustration

You may be a fit if:

- You have 5+ years of experience as a data scientist at a high-growth company

- You've operationalized a north star performance metric across a pillar

- You have experience building and operationalizing data tooling for non-data users

- You enjoy working directly with engineering on measurement and strategy

- You're experienced in experimentation and causal inference

- You're happy to work across the stack and help us build the foundations of data at Cursor
