The Forward Deployed Engineer role

Cursor (Anysphere) FDEs embed with enterprise engineering teams to ship production workflows on Cursor itself — large-scale refactors, migration systems, automated PR-review loops, and spec-to-implementation pipelines. The org is hiring FDEs and FDE leadership across the US, Europe, and APAC.

Founding-stage FDE org; Cursor became a wholly owned SpaceX subsidiary in August 2026, with business customers now ~80% of revenue.

Worth knowing: Building a full FDE org, not a support function — Regional Director and RVP openings, a “Forward Deployed Strategist” track, and APAC expansion.
