About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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.

Requirements

What you’ll need

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.
You have a software engineering background and work on systems like Netsuite, Stripe, and other Order to Cash systems.
You are proficient in a general purpose programming language, ideally having shipped production code.
Your strong SQL is your second or third most important skill.
