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.
About the Role

Through this collaboration, you’ll pioneer the next frontier of data: defining how Cursor itself transforms data science by building a data stack around Cursor Agent for self-serve analytics.
