Why Cursor, why infrastructure
Walk through each part of "Why Cursor, why infrastructure", then explain what each one does.
Step 1 of 3
“I love AI and infra is fascinating” dies on the first follow-up, because every candidate says a version of it. A real why-Cursor ties your motivation to a specific pillar of this role and to genuine product use and it has more behind it the harder the interviewer pushes.
The mission is concrete: automate coding and serve developers at enormous scale. For infra, that mission lands as a foundation problem. Over 1M daily users means cost, multi-region latency and abuse-resistance are first-order business problems, not background concerns and that is the thing to be excited about.
