Job description
from Cursor careersOur 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.
We're hiring an IT Systems Engineer who thinks like a software engineer. You'll design, build, and maintain the identity, access, and automation infrastructure that powers every team at Anysphere. This isn't a help desk role, it's a hands-on engineering position where you'll own critical systems end-to-end, from identity lifecycle management to zero-touch device provisioning to building the automations that let a small team scale with the company.
You'll work closely with Security and Engineering to implement zero-trust architectures and defense in depth strategies that enable the business without slowing anyone down. A significant part of your work will involve designing automated workflows that eliminate manual processes, strengthen our security posture, and create a seamless employee experience. You'll also play a key role in scaling and integrating our core IT systems as we grow, including integrating acquired companies into our systems.
