The position is on-site and was posted today, with no salary listed. The company aims to automate coding and seeks engineers with distributed-systems experience to support ML research and product development.", "body_md": "# Software Engineer, ML Platform\n\n- Salary\n- Not published\n- Location\n- San Francisco\n- Work type\n- On-site\n- Posted\n- today\n\n[Apply on company site (opens in new tab)](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/cursor/167f0e93-6915-4d56-803a-be89d1441fb5/application)\n\nOur 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.\n\nAbout the role\n\nAs a Software Engineer on ML Platform at Cursor, you'll build the infrastructure that turns real product usage into better models — and keeps research moving fast on large GPU fleets. ML Platform is organized into four teams. Depending on your background, you may join any of them:\n\n- Telemetry — Own the collection and serving path that turns real product use into a record research can trust; without slowing the product, and under a small, explicit policy. Client-side or high-volume ingestion experience is a plus.\n- ML Data Platform — Build the shared environments and pipeline substrate researchers extend, so new experiments don’t fork their own stack.\n- Observability — Make it easy for researchers to start, watch, and debug their own runs.\n- ML DevX and Systems — Shorten the path from idea to a trusted run on the research fleet.\n\nWe're looking for strong distributed-systems and infrastructure engineers who want to sit next to research and ship platform primitives that move the product.\n\nWe're in-person with cozy offices in North Beach, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Manhattan, New York, complete with well-stocked libraries.\n\nWhat you’ll do\n\n- Design, build, and operate core platform systems used daily by ML researchers and product engineers\n- Partner closely with research to turn recurring pain into durable infrastructure\n- Own reliability, performance, and developer experience for the systems in your lane\n- Ship iteratively in a flat, high-ownership environment. Measure impact, then raise the bar\n\nYou may be a fit if\n\n- You have a strong background in systems / infrastructure software engineering and enjoy building platforms other engineers depend on\n- You've owned production distributed systems at meaningful scale (ingestion, data pipelines, scheduling/orchestration, or similar)\n- You're comfortable across Linux, cloud and/or bare metal, and modern orchestration (Kubernetes, Ray, or equivalent)\n- You like working closely with ML researchers and product engineers\n- You thrive where ownership is high and the feedback loop is short\n\nEspecially strong backgrounds by team\n\n- Telemetry: event ingestion, product analytics pipelines, OpenTelemetry / tracing, reliable data APIs\n- Product Data Platform: data frameworks, Spark / Flink / Ray, ML dataset and training-data infrastructure\n- Observability: experiment / run monitoring, debug and eval tooling, agent-friendly observability UX\n- ML DevX and Systems: GPU / cluster scheduling, job queues, node health, research compute developer experience\n\nApplying\n\nIf there appears to be a fit, we'll reach out to schedule 2-3 short technicals. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/software-engineer-ml-platform-anysphere-cursor", "canonical_source": "https://frontierroles.com/jobs/cursor-software-engineer-ml-platform-5d70aa/", "published_at": "2026-08-31 20:14:53+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-01 04:24:22.810022+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools", "mlops"], "entities": ["Anysphere", "Cursor", "San Francisco", "Palo Alto", "Manhattan", "New York", "Kubernetes", "Ray"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/software-engineer-ml-platform-anysphere-cursor", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/software-engineer-ml-platform-anysphere-cursor.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/software-engineer-ml-platform-anysphere-cursor.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/software-engineer-ml-platform-anysphere-cursor.jsonld"}}
