ResearchOps: making research scale

The JD asks you to contribute to the research infrastructure - the systems, templates, recruiting pipelines and rituals that make research easier to run. For a tiny team, this is impact and it's a clear differentiator in the loop.

Cursor is described as a growing research function on a flat, talent-dense team. That means you're not staffing someone else's process; you're building the rails so research doesn't depend on you being the bottleneck. The right instinct here is reuse and self-serve, not heavyweight process that a lean, fast-moving startup can't afford to maintain.
