Senior Staff Finance Systems Engineer

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

We’re looking for our first Finance Systems Engineer to support and evolve our Accounting, Billing, and Finance tools to support a fast-growing business. In this role, you will focus on ensuring that our environment supports scalable, accurate, and efficient financial processes across Order to Cash and Record to Report.

You’ll be a team of one initially, and in the future, the most technically sophisticated member of the Finance Systems team: the one who sets the standards, solves the hardest problems, and makes everyone around you faster and better without stepping out of the code yourself.

What you’ll do

• 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

You may be a fit if

• 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
