Cursor's values, in practice

In any fit conversation your engineering and writing signal is mostly already on the table. What is still open is temperament: would you do well on a small, flat, talent-dense team that ships fast and argues hard, with almost no one telling you what to build?

The hiring note on Cursor's careers postings describes a very flat organization and a small, talent-dense team that likes people who are truth-seeking, passionate and creative. The DX Engineer posting, now archived, adds responsibilities that imply two more behaviors: taste and craft in what you publish, and autonomy to ship without a brief. A fit conversation is likely to sample all of these.
