Cursor is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers in Australia and Singapore to ship production agents inside customer engineering orgs
On October 14, Cursor posted an on-site Forward Deployed Engineer role for Australia and Singapore. The hire embeds with customer teams to take agent and coding-agent workflows from discovery through production, then feed field patterns back into the product.
Cursor has opened an on-site Forward Deployed Engineer seat covering Australia and Singapore, published on its Ashby board on October 14, 2026. The role sits on the company's Forward Deployment / Solutions team and is aimed at engineers who will live inside customer codebases and workflows rather than run demos.
According to the posting, FDEs lead discovery, ship production agents and coding-agent workflows on the company's models, harden them with evals and monitoring, and integrate tools, MCP servers, retrieval, and CI gates into the customer's auth, data, and delivery systems. Success is measured on outcomes such as revenue, cost, cycle time, or escaped defects—not seat adoption—and the engineer is expected to leave the customer able to operate what was built.
The listing asks for 5+ years in software, ML, or data science, production Python or TypeScript, and prior ownership of a customer or operator outcome. It joins Cursor's wider FDE footprint, which already includes San Francisco, London/EMEA, India, and Japan openings. For FDE candidates in APAC, it is a clear signal that coding-agent vendors are staffing embedded delivery next to enterprise engineering teams, not only central product orgs.
