About the role
- Your impact will compound across every Cursor product built on the shared harness-and across high-stakes decisions around model choice, quality, and cost.
- Designing feedback loops from real usage: collecting, cleaning, and interpreting user signals to inform model and harness changes.
- Improving reliability and guardrails by making quality measurable and operational: defining "good/bad/degraded" sessions, alerting, and triage primitives.
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.
- you'll instrument what matters, help define how we judge quality, build pipelines and tooling to analyze agent behavior at scale, and partner closely with research, product, and infrastructure teams to turn insights into improvements.
- As a Software Engineer on the Agent Quality team at Cursor, you'll build the measurement, evaluation, and feedback-loop infrastructure that makes the Cursor core agent reliably better over time.
Requirements
- You can turn ambiguous "quality" questions into concrete metrics, pipelines, and decisions.
- You have taste and strong opinions on model and agent behaviors.
- You have strong software engineering fundamentals and enjoy shipping production systems.
