Field Engineer

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 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.

About

We're Anysphere, the team behind Cursor.

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.

We're a group of engineers and scientists who've built beloved products, created large OSS projects, started at-scale businesses, won olympiad medals, and published significant research (e.g. tmm1, ian, luke, phil, federico, aman, sualeh).

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, bold ideas, and shipping code.

We’re in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco and Manhattan, New York, complete with well-stocked libraries. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, OpenAI, Jeff Dean, John Schulman, and the founders of Stripe and GitHub.

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.
