Cursor is hiring a software engineer for its Model Routing & Inference team, which owns the inference path behind the product's AI features. The work covers an inference gateway that abstracts provider APIs, cross-provider failover, and routing backpressure and admission control so traffic spikes do not cascade. The posting asks for deep experience with high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems, ideally in inference serving, traffic routing or real-time pipelines, plus comfort weighing reliability, cost, latency and capacity at scale. Hiring involves two to three short technical interviews, then an onsite with a small project.
