Senior Staff Finance Systems Engineeer

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.

As our first Finance Systems hire, you will play a critical role in implementing systems as well as ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and scalability of our overall financial environment. This is a builder role — not a backlog manager, not an architect who hands off to others.

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.

• →

  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'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.

• You have a software engineering background and work on systems like Netsuite, Stripe, and other Order to Cash systems.

• You are proficient in a general purpose programming language, ideally having shipped production code.

• Your strong SQL is your second or third most important skill.
