Чем предстоит заниматься
As a Software Engineer on the Storage team at Cursor, you'll own the data layer that underpins every product surface: the databases, caches, and the strategy for how teams provision, query, and scale their data stores
Millions of developers depend on Cursor every day, and the future of our storage architecture is one of the highest-leverage problems at the company: get it right, and every team ships faster, every product surface gets more reliable, and Cursor can scale to meet explosive demand. You'll design and execute the path to a robust, multi-database topology built for that growth
EXAMPLE PROJECTS INCLUDE...
Designing the next-generation data architecture: evolving our storage layer into a partitioned, resilient topology that keeps pace with Cursor's rapid growth
Building query attribution and guardrails: instrumenting every database query by service, catching bad patterns before they hit production, and making it impossible to ship problematic queries without review
Defining the "when to use what" strategy for data stores: creating clear guidance and golden pathways so every team picks the right engine for their workload without second-guessing
Owning cache infrastructure end-to-end: reliability, capacity planning, and patterns that let product teams move fast without worrying about cache correctness
