About the role

  • Designing a declarative service configuration framework that makes it trivial to provision, deploy, and operate new services, so spinning up a new backend goes from days to minutes.
  • You've worked extensively with Temporal, durable workflow engines, or similar orchestration systems and have strong opinions on best practices.
  • You care deeply about developer experience.

Responsibilities

  • The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering.
  • As a Software Engineer, Services Platform at Cursor, you'll build the platform-level primitives that make it hard for product teams to build brittle systems and easy to build resilient ones.
  • Defining the contract for service ownership: what it means to own a service, how services integrate with Cursor's infrastructure abstractions, and building the service catalogue so incidents get resolved in minutes, not hours.
  • You care deeply about developer experience. You think about how other engineers interact with your systems and design for simplicity and correctness by default.

Requirements

  • You have experience with deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or service mesh architectures.
  • You have strong software engineering fundamentals and enjoy shipping production systems that make the entire organization more productive.
