Solutions Architect

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re hiring Solution Architects to help the world’s best engineering organizations figure out what AI-native software development actually looks like in production.

This is a deeply technical, post-sale role embedded inside Cursor’s most strategic enterprise accounts. You’ll work directly with engineering teams to roll out high-impact workflows, accelerate adoption, and help organizations fundamentally rethink how software gets built with AI.

Solution Architects sit at the center of long-term customer transformation. You’ll help customers move from initial excitement to deeply integrating engineering workflows that teams rely on every day. That means understanding how modern software organizations operate, identifying where Cursor can create the most leverage, and helping customers scale adoption across teams, platforms, and workflows over time.

This role is highly hands-on. You’ll configure environments, design workflows, run enablement sessions, and solve technical problems directly with developers and platform teams inside complex enterprise environments. You’ll also help engineering leaders think through rollout strategy, workflow evolution, and the long-term architecture for AI-native development.

The best Solution Architects combine deep technical credibility with strong product instincts, high ownership, and the ability to influence how large engineering organizations evolve. Solution Architects are also equally comfortable debugging CI workflows, leading architecture reviews, and helping executives understand where AI changes the economics of software development.
