Software Engineer, Enterprise Platform

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. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

We're hiring an Enterprise Platform Engineer to build the foundational systems that make Cursor ready for the world's largest engineering organizations.

Today we have basic organizations, simple IAM primitives, early audit logs, analytics APIs, and admin APIs — but enterprise customers need much more. You will design and build the platform layer that powers organization management, access control, compliance, and administrative tooling across Cursor's product surface. This is a deeply technical IC role focused on building correct, secure, and scalable enterprise infrastructure — not gluing together vendor SDKs.

• →

• You've built multi-tenant organization or IAM systems in production and have opinions on permission models, role inheritance, and policy evaluation.

• You've shipped RBAC or ABAC systems and understand the tradeoffs between flexibility and complexity.

• You deeply about correctness in authorization and understand why "fail closed" matters.

• You can hold the tension between "ship enterprise features fast" and "do not create security gaps or break existing access patterns."

• You feel comfortable shipping features end-to-end — from database schema and API design to admin UI and documentation.
