Infrastructure Engineer

Anysphere. San Francisco, United States.

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

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. sualeh, ian, tmm1, luke, phil, federico, aman).

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 in a cozy office in North Beach, San Francisco, replete with a well-stocked library. Our investors include OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Jeff Dean, John Schulman, and the founders of Stripe and Github.
