Field Engineer, Life Sciences

About the Role

We're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic enterprise customers across Life Sciences. You'll be the technical face of Cursor for scientific organizations shortening the path from lab to market: helping programmers, researchers, scientists, and commercial teams evaluate Cursor, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see the full value of agentic coding in their real workflows.

You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Engineering as a deal partner, not a demo resource. You'll scope solutions, demonstrate capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor across key stakeholders in Life Sciences: engineering leaders, architects, developers, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT.

What You'll Do

• Partner with AEs to own technical discovery, demos, POCs, and expansion with technical validation
• Build trusted relationships across engineering, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT
• Go deep in research-heavy and regulated environments: developer workflows, AI tooling, complex setups
• Help customers connect Cursor to outcomes that matter: faster R&D cycles and a shorter path from lab to market
• Deliver technical presentations, whiteboards, and workshops for scientific and commercial audiences
• Act as the customer's technical advocate internally with Product and Engineering
• Partner with post-sales to hand off cleanly and set up onboarding for success
• Stay sharp on Cursor and the competitive landscape

Qualifications

• Strong communication skills and executive presence, equally comfortable coding alongside developers or presenting to CTOs and scientific leaders
• Understanding of the SDLC and ability to connect technical detail to business and scientific impact
• Hands-on technical fluency with workflows, AI tooling, and complex environments
• Deal-partner instinct: ability to co-own with AEs and navigate complex stakeholder maps
• Customer-obsessed mindset with the ability to translate technical detail into organizational value
• Experience in Field Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Pre-Sales, or Consulting
• Excitement about Life Sciences and comfort learning regulated and research-heavy organizations quickly
• Motivation by putting AI in the hands of people accelerating benefits for humanity
