About this role
This is the post sale counterpart to Cursor's field engineering role, and the framing is genuinely ambitious: helping large engineering organisations work out what AI native software development actually looks like in production. It is described as a deeply technical role embedded inside Cursor's most strategic enterprise accounts, working directly with engineering teams to roll out high impact workflows, accelerate adoption and help organisations rethink how software gets built. You sit at the centre of long term customer transformation, moving customers from initial excitement to deep integration, and you turn what works into reusable playbooks and reference patterns. Shaping new product capabilities through lighthouse customers and design partnerships is part of the remit too. Cursor accepts a wide range of backgrounds into this seat, naming solution architect, solutions engineer, forward deployed engineer, technical account manager and enterprise architect.
Who this is for
Cursor publishes no years of experience figure on this posting, so we have left the experience field blank rather than guess. The requirements are stated as background rather than duration.
You may be a fit if: you have a strong technical background in software engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering or developer tooling. You have experience in customer facing technical roles such as Solution Architect, Solutions Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Technical Account Manager, Enterprise Architect or similar. You have the ability to work hands on with engineering teams while also operating strategically with technical leadership. You have a strong understanding of developer workflows, SDLC tooling, integrations, CI/CD systems, governance and enterprise requirements.
What you will do: work directly with engineering teams inside strategic enterprise accounts to roll out high impact workflows and accelerate adoption. Help organisations move from initial excitement to deeply integrating AI into how they build software. Help shape new capabilities through lighthouse customers and design partnerships. Turn successful customer workflows into reusable playbooks and reference patterns.
Location: India.
Note on the employer name: the posting refers to Anysphere, the company that builds Cursor. Same employer.
Honest fit guidance: the explicit list of accepted backgrounds is the most useful line in this posting. Technical Account Manager and Forward Deployed Engineer are named directly, which is worth knowing if you have one of those titles and have been unsure whether solutions architecture roles are open to you. This is the post sale seat, so it is less commercially exposed than the Field Engineer role Cursor also has open today, and more about long horizon adoption inside accounts that have already bought. If you like seeing a rollout through rather than winning the deal, this is the better of the two. Expect the work to be genuinely undefined: nobody yet knows what AI native development looks like at enterprise scale, which is precisely the job.
