Software Engineer, Infrastructure
Role
Infrastructure engineers build the platform that supports Cursor's functionality. Sometimes this means inventing highly-available distributed systems. Sometimes this means dealing with woes of scaling to millions of programmers.
Sample projects include...
Creating a retrieval system that processes 10,000,000,000+ files
Staring at esoteric flame graphs to performance engineer our reranking library
Working with many databases, proxies, caches, task queues, and orchestration systems
Shipping infra for safely computing import graphs and shadow lints
About
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 truthseeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
We're in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco and Manhattan, New York, replete with well-stocked libraries.
Applying
If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 2-3 short technicals. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.
