Field Engineer, Life Sciences

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. We're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic enterprise customers across Life Sciences.

You'll be the technical face of Cursor for the scientific organizations shortening the path from lab to market: helping programmers, researchers, scientists, and commercial teams evaluate Cursor, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see the full value of agentic coding in their real workflows.

You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Engineering as a deal partner, not a demo resource.

You'll scope solutions, demonstrate capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor across the stakeholders that matter in Life Sciences: engineering leaders, architects, developers, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT.

This is a highly customer-facing role where deep technical fluency, commercial instinct, and clear communication drive adoption and influence product direction.

What you'll do Partner with AEs to own technical discovery, demos, POCs, and expansion with technical validation Build trusted relationships across engineering, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT Go deep in research-heavy and regulated environments: developer workflows, AI tooling, complex setups Help customers connect Cursor to outcomes that matter: faster R&D cycles and a shorter path from lab to market Deliver technical presentations, whiteboards, and workshops for scientific and commercial audiences Act as the customer's technical advocate internally with Product and Engineering Partner with post-sales to hand off cleanly and set up onboarding for success Stay sharp on Cursor
