## Description

### 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.
