Job Summary

Director responsible for building and leading Cursor’s technical curriculum function, shaping the roadmap, content architecture, and a team of education engineers. Works at the intersection of product and education, partnering with Product, Engineering, Sales and CS to deliver tutorials, learning paths, labs, and certifications that drive enterprise adoption and fluency among developers.

Location: New York

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Executive & General Management

Seniority: Director level

Key Responsibilities

•Own the technical education content roadmap: what gets built, when, and for which customer segments, prioritized against product releases, adoption gaps, and enterprise need.
•Build Cursor's technical learning library hands-on: code walkthroughs, structured learning paths, lab exercises, certification-ready content, and workshops tailored to customer needs.
•Partner with Product and Engineering ahead of every major launch so new capabilities ship with the tutorials and learning paths developers need to adopt them.
•Help engineering organizations evolve from isolated usage to company-wide adoption — designing rollout strategies, acting as the customer's internal technical advocate, and escalating product feedback to Engineering and Product.
•Define performance metrics that go beyond completion rates, measuring activation, adoption, and actual developer fluency gains.
•Hire and develop a team of education engineers, and define Cursor's strategy for the third-party course ecosystem.

Key Requirements

•7+ years in technical education, developer content strategy, or developer relations at a developer tools or platform company, and you've owned a content roadmap end-to-end—not just the content, but the systems behind it.
•You're hands-on and want to stay that way, fluent in developer workflows, AI tooling, SDLC tooling, CI/CD systems, and enterprise engineering environments.
•You're deeply technical in your editorial judgment, able to read code and evaluate tutorials critically, with strong opinions on what great developer education looks like.
•You use AI coding tools extensively in your own workflow—ideally Cursor—as core infrastructure, not a novelty.
•You're customer-obsessed and comfortable translating technical details into business impact while working across engineering, product, and CS without a clean lane
