Job Description
CareersSoftware Engineer, ML PlatformEngineering · Full-time · San Francisco; New YorkApply↓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 roleAs a Software Engineer on ML Platform at Cursor, you'll build the infrastructure that turns real product usage into better models — and keeps research moving fast on large GPU fleets. ML Platform is organized into four teams. Depending on your background, you may join any of them:Telemetry — Own the collection and serving path that turns real product use into a record research can trust; without slowing the product, and under a small, explicit policy. Client-side or high-volume ingestion experience is a plus.ML Data Platform — Build the shared environments and pipeline substrate researchers extend, so new experiments don’t fork their own stack.Observability — Make it easy for researchers to start, watch, and debug their own runs.ML DevX and Systems — Shorten the path from idea to a trusted run on the research fleet.We're looking for strong distributed-systems and infrastructure engineers who want to sit next to research and ship platform primitives that move the product.We're in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Manhattan, New York, complete with well-stocked libraries.What you’ll doDesign, build, and operate core platform systems used daily by ML researchers and product engineersPartner closely with research to turn recurring pain into durable infrastructureOwn reliability, performance, and developer experience for the systems in your laneShip iteratively in a flat, high-ownership environment.
