Forward Deployed Engineer - Japan
Cursor, Japan
The role
You embed directly with customer teams as the engineer on the ground: own an outcome, ship a production-grade SpaceXSI system that still runs after you leave, and become the critical technical feedback loop from the field back to product engineering. The work is the project. One week you might take a messy business workflow and put a production agent on it: pick the use case, stand up the architecture, wire it into the customer's auth, data, and tools, then harden it with evals until the team actually uses it.
Another week you might live in a customer's repo and delivery system and ship an agent-powered path for a migration, a PR review loop, or an incident-to-fix flow, behind tests, review, and rollout rather than in a chat sidebar.
What you will do
- Lead discovery with the customer: orient in their codebases and workflows, find the real bottleneck and the use case worth building, and define clear success metrics
- Design and ship production agents, AI applications, and coding-agent workflows on Grok and our models, on live business processes and inside the customer’s engineering org
