Director, Product Education Engineering

What you’ll do

• Own the technical education content roadmap: what gets built, when, and for which customer segments, prioritized against product releases, adoption gaps, and enterprise need.
• Build Cursor's technical learning library hands-on: code walkthroughs, structured learning paths, lab exercises, certification-ready content, and workshops tailored to customer needs.
• Partner with Product and Engineering ahead of every major launch so new capabilities ship with the tutorials and learning paths developers need to adopt them.
• Help engineering organizations evolve from isolated usage to company-wide adoption — designing rollout strategies, acting as the customer's internal technical advocate, and escalating product feedback to Engineering and Product.
• Define performance metrics that go beyond completion rates, measuring activation, adoption, and actual developer fluency gains.
• Hire and develop a team of education engineers, and define Cursor's strategy for the third-party course ecosystem.

You may be a fit if

• You have 7+ years in technical education, developer content strategy, or developer relations at a developer tools or platform company, and you've owned a content roadmap end-to-end not just the content, but the systems behind it.
• You're hands-on and want to stay that way. Not a full-time engineer, but genuinely fluent in developer workflows, AI tooling, SDLC tooling, CI/CD systems, and enterprise engineering environments. You can go deep with an engineering audience without faking it.
• You're deeply technical in your editorial judgment. You read code, follow a tutorial critically, and immediately know when something is wrong. You have strong opinions about what great developer education looks like because you've been on the wrong side of bad documentation.
• You use AI coding tools extensively in your own workflow — ideally Cursor — as core infrastructure, not as a novelty.
• You're customer-obsessed and cross-functional, comfortable translating technical details into business impact and working across engineering, product, and CS without needing a clean lane.
• You can build in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the product changes faster than the documentation.

Bonus Points

• Background in instructional design or learning science.
• Experience building or governing a third-party education or partner certification ecosystem.
• Familiarity with LMS platforms: Skilljar, Thought Industries, or similar.
• Experience managing video content programs: YouTube channels, tutorial series, course platforms.
• Prior experience standing up a certification or credentialing program from scratch.
