Cursor is building the future of coding. Our AI code editor and agents are just the beginning – we're solving the hardest engineering and design problems in AI automating coding, and making these capabilities accessible to everyone.

About the role

We're looking for a product designer who can help us 10× the product. You'll work directly with the founding team to design core features and experiences that make AI-first software development feel intuitive and powerful. This means designing for professional developers today while creating pathways for builders of tomorrow.

What you'll do

• Design and ship features that define how humans and AI collaborate to build software

• Own end-to-end design for key product areas – from initial concept through implementation and iteration

• Solve complex UX challenges at the intersection of AI capabilities and human intent

• Create interaction patterns and design systems that scale across increasingly sophisticated AI workflows

• Partner closely with engineers to ensure high-quality implementation and rapid iteration

• Use data and user feedback to validate designs and identify opportunities for improvement

You might be a fit if

• You have 3+ years of product design experience shipping software people love

• You've designed developer tools, technical products, or complex enterprise software

• You think in systems and can balance immediate user needs with long-term product vision

• You're comfortable with ambiguity and can drive clarity through design

• You can move between high-level strategy and pixel-perfect execution

• You understand or are eager to learn about code, AI, and how developers work

• You have strong opinions but hold them loosely – you're open to being wrong

About

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.

We're a group of engineers and scientists who've built beloved products, created large OSS projects, started at-scale businesses, won olympiad medals, and published significant research (e.g. tmm1, ian, luke, phil, federico, aman, sualeh).

Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truthseeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

We're in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco and Manhattan, New York, replete with well-stocked libraries. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, OpenAI, Jeff Dean, John Schulman, and the founders of Stripe and Github.
