Full posting

Original listing.

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 Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic enterprise customers. As a Field Engineer, you’ll be the technical face of Anysphere in the field — helping customers evaluate Cursor, guiding them through proofs of concept, and ensuring they see the full value of AI in their engineering workflows.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Engineering to scope solutions, demonstrate capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor to technical stakeholders. This is a highly customer-facing role where you’ll combine deep technical fluency with strong communication skills to drive adoption and influence product direction.

What you’ll do

  • Partner with Account Executives to lead technical discovery, demos, and proof-of-concept engagements.

  • Build trusted relationships with engineering leaders, architects, and developers, serving as their technical advisor.

  • Translate customer requirements into solution designs, guiding them on best practices for rollout, prompt strategy, and context configuration.

  • Develop and deliver technical presentations, whiteboard sessions, and hands-on workshops tailored to customer needs.

  • Act as the customer’s technical advocate internally, influencing roadmap priorities and escalating feedback to Product and Engineering.

  • Collaborate with post-sales teams to ensure a smooth handoff and successful customer onboarding.

  • Maintain deep knowledge of Cursor’s capabilities and competitive landscape to position our value effectively.

  • Support strategic account planning and help drive expansion opportunities with technical validation.

You may be a fit if

  • Strong communication skills and executive presence — equally comfortable coding alongside developers or presenting to CTOs.

  • Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle, modern engineering org structures, and developer productivity challenges.

  • Hands-on technical ability — you don’t need to be a full-time engineer, but you should be fluent in technical workflows, AI tooling, and debugging complex environments.

  • Customer-obsessed with a knack for translating technical details into business impact.

  • Experience in Field Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Pre-Sales, or Consulting for enterprise software.

  • Thrives in a startup environment: resourceful, adaptable, and proactive in creating solutions.

Applying

If there appears to be a fit, we’ll reach out to schedule 2–3 short technical conversations. After, we’ll arrange an onsite visit to our office, where you’ll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.
