1 min lesson

Prepare for an introductory conversation

Walk through each part of "Prepare for an introductory conversation", then explain what each one does.

Step 1 of 2

The posting does not promise a separate recruiter or hiring-manager screen. If recruiting schedules an introductory conversation, use it to explain why this product role fits your work and to get precise, current instructions for the technicals and onsite.

What to bring and confirm
Why this role
Connect your product-engineering work to building better ways to create software.
Why Cursor
Use a concrete product observation or project, not enthusiasm that fits any AI company.
Role location
The posting lists San Francisco and New York; confirm the location attached to your candidacy.
Loop details
Ask about current timing, format, participants, project setup and tool rules.

Be specific without pretending to know unpublished working norms. The posting describes a small, flat, talent-dense team that values truth-seeking, passion, creativity, spirited debate and shipping. Explain which parts match how you work, then ask recruiting about practical expectations that matter to your decision.
