Director of Engineering (m/f/d)

CURSOR

<div>Solutions &middot; Full-time &middot; London 
<div><div>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 building a Forward Deployed Engineering team to close the gap between the value our enterprise customers expect from Cursor and the value they're actually getting. FDEs don't advise, they embed directly with customer engineering teams, build production-grade Cursor workflows, and transfer the habits and culture that compound long after the engagement ends. The measure of success is what's different at day 30, not what got shipped.
We're looking for a Regional Director, Forward Deployed Engineering to lead and help scale this team. You'll manage a growing team of FDEs working across our most strategic enterprise accounts, own what makes a world-class FDE engagement, and stay close enough to the work to escalate, coach, and course-correct in real time. You will serve as the primary point of contact for customers, owning both project delivery and the day-to-day relationship, while also identifying and scoping new opportunities. You'll also build our partner FDE track &mdash; training and enabling GSI and consulting partners who extend this motion at scale.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who combines deep technical credibility, strong people management, and the judgment to keep engagements scoped tight, delivered fast, and worth repeating. 
What you'll do
Sell<ul><li>
Own the full arc from technical discovery to executive close &mdash; partnering with Sales and Account teams to qualify opportunities, leading architecture reviews, surfacing integration complexity and infrastructure constraints, and scoping engagements with enough precision to de-risk delivery before a line of code is written</li><li>
Build and present proposals that translate ambiguous customer problems into concrete, time-boxed deliverables with clear ROI</li><li>
Sell the vision and the plan to C-suite stakeholders who need to believe in both the outcome and the team delivering it</li><li>
Drive deal strategy on strategic accounts; your technical credibility is a direct lever on close rates for six- and seven-figure engagements</li></ul>
Deliver<ul><li>
Serve as executive technical sponsor on your region's highest-priority engagements and manage stakeholder relationships from IC engineers to C-suite</li><li>
Ensure delivery quality across your team's projects: appropriate scoping, milestone tracking, technical standards, and clean handoffs to customer engineering teamsTranslate between business outcomes and technical implementation in both directions</li><li>
Identify and escalate product gaps, integration friction, and recurring customer pain back to Product and Engineering with enough specificity to drive roadmap decisions</li><li>
Manage active engagements: escalate on complex builds, coach FDEs on scoping and delivery decisions, and step in directly on accounts where the stakes are highest</li><li>
Build reusable playbooks that make the broader FDE org more capable over time</li></ul>
Manage People<ul><li>
Lead, develop, and scale a team of 6&ndash;8 Forward Deployed Engineers working strategic FDE projects</li><li>
Hire top-tier FDE talent; set clear expectations, technical performance standards, and career growth paths for a team where &quot;excellent&quot; means actually shipping in production</li><li>
Coach FDEs through the hardest problems in the field &mdash; scoping under deal pressure, building alongside senior technical stakeholders, and knowing when to protect scope vs. when to flex</li><li>
Build and scale the partner FDE track &mdash; train, enable, and hold the quality bar for GSI and consulting partners who carry the FDE motion forward at volume</li></ul> 
You may be a fit if<ul><li>
You have 8+ years of experience leading technical teams that build and ship in production &mdash; Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or a similar function where writing and reviewing code is part of the job</li><li>
You have experience with software development and coding in Python, Javascript/Typescript</li><li>
You&rsquo;ve built and owned AI-native workflows in production, not just prototypes, and have debugged real-world model failures</li><li>
You can diagnose a complex enterprise engineering environment quickly, identify the highest-leverage intervention, and scope a meaningful engagement</li><li>
You've built and scaled IC-level technical teams and know what excellence looks like in the field: sharp scoping, clean delivery, and knowledge that stays at the customer long after the engagement closes</li></ul></div></div></div>

Regional Director, Forward Deployed Engineering

Dash0

<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">About Dash0</h3>
Join Dash0 and help us define the future of observability. We are OpenTelemetry-native, building a delightful, simple, and AI-centric platform that eliminates vendor lock-in and meaningless toil. Shape a product that developers love&mdash;all with transparent pricing and cost-control built in.
The Opportunity
Dash0's AI product, Agent0, is not a chatbot or a feature add-on. It is the core of where we are heading. As AI writes more code, software reaches production faster and at greater scale, often with less human understanding of what is actually running. To ship at agentic speed, you need to be able to run production at agentic speed. This is what Agent0 does. It scans your telemetry, connects to your codebase, and fixes issues before you even notice them. Then it closes the loop and helps you improve your system.
We are looking for a Director of Engineering for our AI team: a rare combination of visionary and doer. You will own the engineering of Agent0, leading a growing team and working in close partnership with Product, VP Engineering, and the rest of the Dash0 team.
This is a product engineering role. You are responsible for building and shipping Agent0, not enabling AI across the company. You will lead the team that defines, designs, and delivers the product. We would love you to be hands-on: prototyping ideas, evaluating new models, sparring with staff engineers on architecture, and setting the bar for what great AI engineering looks like in production. At the same time, you are the person who keeps the team focused and ships real value to customers, not just chasing the latest shiny thing.<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You&rsquo;ll Do</h1><ul><li>
Co-own the Agent0 roadmap with Product, drive execution with discipline and consistency, and ensure what the team builds is grounded in what customers actually need.
</li><li>Drive delivery and focus. Pick the right bets, ship them, and keep the team away from the many interesting-but-not-now directions the AI landscape constantly offers.
</li><li>Hire, mentor, and grow a team of senior software and AI engineers. Manage managers as the team scales.
</li><li>Set the standard for production-grade AI engineering: evaluation pipelines, context management, testing strategies, and the kind of rigour applied to any mission-critical system.
</li><li>Stay genuinely current with foundation models, agentic architectures, and the broader AI ecosystem, and translate that knowledge into concrete product decisions and prototypes.
</li><li>Build proofs of concept yourself, earn credibility with senior ICs by showing rather than telling, and bring the team along on the journey.
</li><li>Champion AI production excellence internally and represent Dash0's perspective on how AIassisted systems should be built and operated in production.</li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You Bring</h1><ul><li>
A proven track record building agentic AI products in production. You understand the profound difference between an internal chatbot and a productised agent that customers depend on for mission-critical work.
</li><li>Experience building and managing teams. You have hired at scale, built from the ground up, and led teams of 15 or more engineers to success.
</li><li>Deep hands-on knowledge of agentic architectures: context management, tool use, eval frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-step reasoning pipelines.
</li><li>A rigorous, systematic approach to AI quality: evals, regression checks, human-in-the-loop review, and production monitoring.
</li><li>Strong cross-functional communication skills. You can align engineers, product managers, and executives around a shared direction and act as a true peer to Product.
</li><li>Passion for speed and impact. You thrive in a fast-paced, remote-first startup environment where autonomy is high and value to customers is everything.
</li><li>The discipline to focus: genuine curiosity about where AI is heading, combined with the judgment to pick one direction and finish it.
Nice to Have</li><li>
Experience with observability, distributed tracing, APM, or the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.</li><li>
A background as a hands-on ML or AI engineer before moving into engineering leadership.</li><li>
Familiarity with data pipelines and the role of data quality in delivering high-quality AI experiences.</li><li>
Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment.</li></ul>
Why Dash0
This is a unique opportunity to help build a generational company. Dash0 is backed by top-tier investors including Balderton Capital, Accel and Cherry Ventures and led by a founding team with decades of experience in observability. We're in the middle of a massive growth phase after our Series B &mdash; and we're just getting started.
If you're looking for a place where a great product meets great people, where momentum is real and your impact is visible from day one &mdash; this is it.
What we offer:<ul><li>
Competitive salary &amp; meaningful equity participation &mdash; you'll own part of what you're building</li><li>
Flexible, remote-first work environment with offices in New York, Amsterdam, and Munich</li><li>
&euro;60/month phone &amp; internet allowance</li><li>
Location-specific benefits</li><li>
