Senior Staff GTM Systems Engineer

Cursor is on a mission to automate coding by building the best tool for professional programmers. As the first Senior Staff GTM Systems Engineer, you'll own the technical foundation of the systems powering Cursor's GTM organization, leading complex implementations and mentoring junior engineers while championing AI-forward automation.

Responsibilities:

• Own the technical foundation of Cursor's Salesforce platform — architecture, standards, governance, and developer tooling (including CI/CD and version control)
• Lead and execute the most complex, ambiguous implementations across GTM systems — CPQ, lead routing, deal approval workflows, and lead-to-cash processes
• Set and enforce engineering standards across the GTM systems team, with a focus on enabling parallel development without regression or conflict
• Pair with and technically mentor junior engineers — getting in the weeds with them, not just reviewing their designs
• Champion AI-forward automation in how GTM systems are built and operated
• Partner with Sales, Finance, Legal, and RevOps to translate messy commercial requirements into clean, scalable technical solutions
• Build with a strong balance of code and configuration — knowing when each is the right tool and why

Requirements:

• You have a software engineering background and work on Salesforce — not the other way around
• You've owned complex Salesforce environments as a developer, not just an admin or architect
• You've implemented or fully owned CPQ end-to-end and can speak to what broke and what you'd do differently
• You've worked at pre-IPO companies through periods of real growth — you know what adversity looks like and you stayed through it
• You have strong opinions about developer tooling, CI/CD, and how to keep a multi-contributor Salesforce org from becoming a mess
• You mentor by doing — pairing, building together, raising the team's technical ceiling through proximity, not PowerPoint
• You're energized by ambiguity, move fast by default, and are burned by orgs where shipping takes a quarter
• Years of hands-on experience matter to you more than certifications — and to us too
• You are proficient in a general purpose programming language, ideally having shipped production code
• Your strong SQL is your second or third most important skill
