Prepare for the Infrastructure loop with cloud, networking, Kubernetes, edge security, cost tradeoffs and the two-day onsite project.
Prepare for the Model Routing and Inference loop with gateway design, failover, backpressure, GPU cost tradeoffs and craft review.
Prepare for the Security Engineering loop with product security, cloud security, coding-agent threats and builder-first tradeoffs.
Prepare for the Core Services EM loop with auth, webhooks, agent backend systems, leadership judgment and the hands-on screen.
Prepare for the Design Engineer loop with coding screens, the two-day team build, interaction craft and portfolio review.
Prepare for the Data Platform loop with ingestion pipelines, observability, cost controls and a mock self-exam.

Prepare for the Field Engineer loop with enterprise delivery, governance, team rollout, discovery, demos and objection handling.
Prepare for the Forward Deployed Engineer loop with role expectations, paid-build onsite practice, workflow design, production evals, customer scoping and a mock loop.
Prepare for the Solutions Architect loop with the role charter, enterprise adoption, technical demos, discovery and security conversations.
Prepare for the AI Deployment Manager loop with the charter, post-sale rollout playbook, adoption metrics and live account scenario.
Prepare for User Operations with Cursor architecture, ticket debugging, Slack comms, support automation and the values screen.
Prepare for the Commercial AE loop with technical discovery, developer-buyer pain, ROI framing and the founder-led work trial.
Prepare for the Enterprise AE loop with mock discovery, demo rounds, buyer mapping and land-and-expand strategy.
Prepare for the SDR loop with outbound pipeline work, cold calls, written outreach, AE rounds and a mock loop.
Prepare for the GTM Engineer loop with systems design, automation stack, SQL measurement, Cursor values and a mock self-exam.
Prepare for the PMM loop with GTM charter work, developer positioning, demo-back practice and the exercise that decides the offer.
Prepare for the builder-PM loop with idea framing, hands-on prototyping, shipping tradeoffs and GTM decisions.
Prepare for the User Research loop with the role charter, research challenge, methods deep dives and a mock loop.
Prepare for the Product Quality Engineer loop with user feedback systems, bug triage, deep debugging, Voice of Customer work and the craft bar.
Prepare for the Research Scientist loop with RL for coding agents, research deep dives, paid onsite work and truth-seeking judgment.
Prepare for the Performance and Reliability data loop with metric design, experiments, causal thinking, reliability analytics and self-serve tooling.
Prepare for the Infrastructure TPM loop with COGS attribution, GPU capacity, R&D efficiency work and the systems-heavy values screen.
Prepare for the Recruiting Coordinator loop with scheduling, candidate hosting, Ashby ops and high-pace hiring judgment.
Prepare for the IT Systems Engineer loop with identity, access, automation engineering, onsite practice and high-agency judgment.
Prepare for the Finance Systems Engineer loop with Order-to-Cash, Record-to-Report, billing systems, revenue recognition and build-heavy exercises.
Begin with one repo, fast edits, context, Agent and checks.
Use rules, MCP, browser checks, cloud agents, review and reliability so the team repeats the good path.
Add admin controls, automations, terminal work, SDK agents and enterprise policy when the rollout grows.
