Software Engineer, RL Environments
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.
About the Role
One of our north stars is a future where teams can hire Grok as a remote colleague. Reaching that future requires training our models in realistic, diverse environments that support complex, end-to-end work across domains.
As a Software Engineer on the RL Environments team at Cursor, you’ll build the systems that turn real-world data into high-quality environments and tasks for reinforcement learning. You’ll create dramatically more realistic training environments while owning the shared platforms and quality layers that help us produce trustworthy data quickly and at scale.
This role sits at the intersection of research, data, and engineering. You’ll work closely with ML Platform and research teams to turn company data, Grok Bot interactions, vendor-built tasks, tutor data, acquired data, and synthetic data into training-ready environments. Your work will make high-quality RL data easier to create, validate, discover, and use acr
