Senior Staff Finance Systems Engineer at Cursor building scalable accounting, billing, and finance infrastructure. Focus on Order to Cash and Record to Report systems, with emphasis on AI-forward automation and technical architecture.
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. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
We’re looking for our first Finance Systems Engineer to support and evolve our Accounting, Billing, and Finance tools to support a fast-growing business. In this role, you will focus on ensuring that our environment supports scalable, accurate, and efficient financial processes across Order to Cash and Record to Report.
You'll be a team of one initially, and in the future, the most technically sophisticated member of the Finance Systems team: the one who sets the standards, solves the hardest problems, and makes everyone around you faster and better without stepping out of the code yourself.
Own the technical architecture of Cursor’s finance systems
Lead and execute the most complex, ambiguous implementations across Finance systems, initially starting in Order to Cash
Partner with Sales, Finance, Legal, and RevOps to translate messy commercial requirements into clean, scalable technical solutions
Champion AI-forward automation in how Finance systems are built and operated
Build with a strong balance of code and configuration, knowing when each is the right tool and why
You've owned complex Finance Systems environments and integrations as a hands on developer
You've implemented or fully owned an ERP or major components of one end-to-end and can speak to what broke and what you'd do differently
You've worked at pre-IPO companies through periods of real growth, you know what adversity looks like and you stayed through it
You have strong opinions about developer tooling, CI/CD, and how to maintain velocity with safety
You mentor by doing, pairing, building together, raising the team's technical ceiling through proximity, not PowerPoint
You're energized by ambiguity, move fast by default, and are burned by orgs where shipping takes a quarter
Years of hands-on experience matter to you more than certifications, and to us too
