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

We're looking for an exceptional brand designer who can help define and evolve Cursor’s visual identity as we scale to a universal platform for building software. As we grow, we’re building a brand studio focused on setting a high bar for creative excellence in a fast-moving company where brand and design play a meaningful role. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of the Cursor brand and contribute to a design function that matches the ambition of our mission.
