About the role
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
At Cursor, Recruiting is one of the most important functions in the company. We believe every hire changes the trajectory of the business, and recruiters are expected to operate as strategic partners to leaders.
