from Cursor careers

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. 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

We’re hiring a Regional Director, Field Engineering to build and lead a high impact pre-sales Field Engineering team supporting our fastest growing enterprise accounts. This role sits at the intersection of Sales, Product, and Engineering and is responsible for ensuring our technical pre-sales motion scales with quality, speed, and credibility.

As the Regional Director, Field Engineering, you’ll manage and develop Field Engineers who partner closely with AEs to run technical discovery, demos, and proofs of concept. You’ll also stay close to customers and deals yourself, coaching in real time, unblocking complex evaluations, and ensuring Cursor is positioned as the best AI-native development platform on the market.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who combines technical fluency, strong people management, and excellent cross-functional judgment.

What you’ll do
