Software Engineer, Storage
Cursor, San Francisco, CA +1
The role
As a Software Engineer on the Storage team at SpaceXSI, you'll own the data layer that underpins every product surface: the databases, caches, and the strategy for how teams provision, query, and scale their data stores. Millions of developers depend on Cursor every day, and the future of our storage architecture is one of the highest-leverage problems at the company: get it right, and every team ships faster, every product surface gets more reliable, and SpaceXSI can scale to meet explosive demand. You'll design and execute the path to a robust, multi-database topology built for that growth.
What you will do
- Design the next-generation data architecture: evolving our storage layer into a partitioned, resilient topology that keeps pace with SpaceXSI's rapid growth
- Build query attribution and guardrails: instrumenting every database query by service, catching bad patterns before they hit production, and making it impossible to ship problematic queries without review
