Engineering Manager, ML

Join Cursor as an Engineering Manager to lead a team building infrastructure for ML models. Drive technical direction and collaborate with researchers to enhance model training and evaluation. 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.

• •Lead a team of engineers building the infrastructure used to train, test, and evaluate our models.
• •Set technical direction for how we train and evaluate models at scale.
• •Debug alongside your team and work daily with researchers.
• •Build rollout infrastructure for RL experiments.
• •Design eval pipelines to catch regressions before they ship.
• •Own environments for model training and testing.
• •Measure quality and progress rigorously.
• •Partner with research to translate model-level tradeoffs into infrastructure decisions.
• •Hire and grow the team through sourcing, interviewing, and mentorship.

• •Experience leading engineering teams building infrastructure for ML models in production.
• •Strong fundamentals in infrastructure and distributed systems.
• •Comfortable writing code and reviewing PRs.
• •Ability to operate in ambiguity and make sound decisions.
• •Track record of hiring and developing engineers.
• •Fluency in discussing model behavior with researchers and systems design with engineers.
• •Bonus: hands-on experience with RL training infrastructure or eval frameworks.
