Anysphere. San Francisco, United States. Role Research engineers build the systems that make Cursor intelligent. Often that involves staring down ambiguous research problems. And inventing clever techniques for solving them. Sample projects include... - Training the world's best next-action-prediction and apply models - Inventing inference tricks for faster code edits - Creating retrieval models and PL techniques to solve codebase awareness You might be a fit if... - You've trained and served state-of-the-art models. - You're unfazed hunting down kernel-level memory leaks on large-scale MOE runs. - You love using the most productive tool for the job, whether that be creating a model, leveraging an existing one, or something other than ML entirely. About We're Anysphere, the team behind Cursor. Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. We're a group of engineers and scientists who've built well-known products, created large OSS projects, started productive businesses, won olympiad medals, and published significant research (e.g. tmm1, ian, luke, phil, federico, aman, sualeh). Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truthseeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code. We're in-person in a cozy office in North Beach, San Francisco, replete with a well-stocked library. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, OpenAI, Jeff Dean, John Schulman, and the founders of Stripe and Github. Applying To apply, please email your resume and a short note on a project you're proud of to hiring@anysphere.inc. If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 2-3 short technicals. The final step is an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.
