Software Engineer, ML Research
cursorAbout the role
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.
RESEARCH ENGINEER
SpaceXAI is building the future of coding. We train frontier coding agents https://cursor.com/blog/composer and scale RL on real user data to make them increasingly effective.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for Research Engineers to build the training, inference, and data systems behind our frontier coding models. You’ll work directly with researchers to make progress repeatable and iteration fast.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
