Our take

Product Designer at Cursor means designing the IDE that millions of developers use every day. The product is already beloved for its polish — this role shapes what comes next. Rare opportunity to work on a category-defining AI tool with a small, elite design team.

Job description

Cursor is building the future of coding. Our AI code editor and agents are just the beginning – we're solving the hardest engineering and design problems in AI automating coding, and making these capabilities accessible to everyone.

About the role

We're looking for a product designer who can help us 10× the product. You'll work directly with the founding team to design core features and experiences that make AI-first software development feel intuitive and powerful. This means designing for professional developers today while creating pathways for builders of tomorrow.

What you'll do

  • Design and ship features that define how humans and AI collaborate to build software
  • Own end-to-end design for key product areas – from initial concept through implementation and iteration
  • Solve complex UX challenges at the intersection of AI capabilities and human intent
  • Create interaction patterns and design systems that scale across increasingly sophisticated AI workflows
  • Partner closely with engineers to ensure high-quality implementation and rapid iteration
  • Use data and user feedback to validate designs and identify opportunities for improvement

    • You may be a fit if

  • You have 3+ years of product design experience shipping software people love
  • You've designed developer tools, technical products, or complex enterprise software
  • You think in systems and can balance immediate user needs with long-term product vision
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and can drive clarity through design
  • You can move between high-level strategy and pixel-perfect execution
  • You understand or are eager to learn about code, AI, and how developers work
  • You have strong opinions but hold them loosely – you're open to being wrong
