About the role
- When your team's systems work well, every team is more productive, every product surface is more reliable, and Cursor can expand to serve developers everywhere.
Responsibilities
- Owning Kubernetes and cluster foundations: building and operating production clusters with proper service mesh, scaling, and ingress that teams can confidently deploy to.
- Designing the geo-deployment architecture: building a replicable, robust process for deploying geo-replicated services across cloud regions and providers.
- Building edge and security infrastructure: designing the networking and security layer at the edge to protect against abuse, manage rate limiting, and optimize traffic routing.
- Owning cost management and optimization: building attribution systems, identifying waste, and ensuring we're making smart tradeoffs between cost and reliability across all cloud spend.
- Hiring and growing the team: sourcing, interviewing, and closing top infrastructure talent, while developing your engineers through coaching, mentorship, and high-leverage project assignments.
- The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering.
- designing the networking and security layer at the edge to protect against abuse, manage rate limiting, and optimize traffic routing.
Requirements
- You have deep experience with AWS (or comparable cloud providers), especially VPC networking, EKS/K8s, and IAM/account management.
Nice to have
- Experience with cost optimization at scale, infrastructure migration/unification, or data storage systems (Postgres, ClickHouse, OLAP) is a plus.
Company info
- You have led engineering teams building and operating production infrastructure or platform systems at scale.
- You've built and operated production Kubernetes clusters at scale, including service mesh, autoscaling, and multi-region deployments.
- You have strong opinions on databases, storage engines, caching, and schema design, and understand the tradeoffs between performance, consistency, and cost.
- You understand edge networking, CDN/WAF architectures, and traffic management at the infrastructure level.
- You care about infrastructure-as-code, reproducibility, and making it easy for other teams to self-serve reliable infrastructure.
- Our mission is to automate coding.
