Full Job Description
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 role Cursor ships fast. New models, new agentic capabilities, new workflows every week. The gap between what Cursor can do and what developers know how to build with it grows with every release. This role closes that gap. As Director, Product Education Engineering, you'll build and lead Cursor's technical curriculum function: the roadmap, the content architecture, and the team that ensures every major capability ships with the educational infrastructure developers need to adopt it. You're building this function from scratch, which means you'll be hands-on for a long time, writing content, building systems, and making technical decisions while also hiring and developing a team of education engineers. You'll sit at the intersection of product and education, embedded in launches, working cross-functionally with Developer Relations, Product, Engineering, Sales and CS to build technical content that moves developers from first install to deep, durable fluency. You'll report to the VP of Customer Education and lead a team of technical curriculum developers. What you’ll do - 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
