AI Deployment Manager Interview Experience

I cold applied, and a recruiter reached out. The whole process felt super straightforward and unusually practical: no coding rounds, just a recruiter screen, a hiring manager screen, a live enablement presentation with a Cursor demo, and then an onsite with multiple conversations plus a CTO-style pilot presentation. Everybody I talked to was very warm, gentle, and surprisingly unassuming, and both the recruiter and hiring manager were extremely responsive. The role itself felt much more like a go-to-market solutions architecture job than a traditional engineering manager role, centered on helping entire engineering orgs adopt Cursor as a platform. It's still in progress for me, but in terms of how effective the company was at conveying the job and running a useful process, it was one of the better ones I've done.
