About the role
- Cursor's agents work inside the codebases of some of the most security-conscious engineering organizations in the world - holding credentials, reading untrusted content, running tools, and shipping changes.
- Today they act on authority delegated per task.
- Where we're headed, they'll work more like coworkers: autonomous over long horizons, holding standing responsibilities, initiating work, and collaborating with people and other agents.
Responsibilities
- Chart the path from supervised agents to trusted autonomous ones: define the security primitives that enable agent autonomy, and lead the team that builds them.
- Build the authority infrastructure autonomous agents need: identity, scoped permissions, policy enforcement, and secure tool execution, so an agent can hold real responsibility with verifiable limits and full accountability.
- You understand modern application security, authorization, tenancy, identity, secrets, data isolation, and secure-by-default platform design.
- The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering.
Requirements
- You're comfortable operating in ambiguity: you can set strategy where precedent is thin, commit to a direction, and stay close enough to the implementation to know when to change it.
Skills
- autonomous over long horizons, holding standing responsibilities, initiating work, and collaborating with people and other agents.
