AI Adoption Engineer

Responsibilities

• ▹Design, produce, and run internal hackathons within customer organizations: company-specific formats, cohort-based programs, single-day sprints, multi-day builds, theme-based challenges
• ▹Build and own the Customer Developer Day program: immersive half-day or full-day events for specific accounts or customer segments
• ▹Develop repeatable facilitation infrastructure: playbooks, judging rubrics, agenda frameworks, post-event retrospective templates
• ▹Partner with AI Deployment Managers and Customer Success to identify the right intervention for each account
• ▹Capture outcomes from every engagement and turn them into customer success stories
• ▹Identify patterns across customer engagements and feed them back into how the Customer Education team designs programs and content
• ▹Be a credible technical presence in the room: follow a codebase, troubleshoot in real time, demonstrate Cursor capabilities at a level that earns developer trust

Requirements

• ▹Experience running developer events, hackathons, or technical workshops with adoption outcomes to show for it
• ▹Technical credibility with experienced engineers; uses Cursor or comparable AI coding tools in your own workflow
• ▹Understands the difference between a great event and a great adoption program – events are a mechanism, behavior change is the goal
• ▹Energized by being in the room with customers rather than behind a content queue
• ▹Experience in a post-sales or customer success context, operating within account relationships without disrupting them
• ▹Strong communicator and facilitator: can hold a room of skeptical engineers and explain the value to a VP of Engineering
• ▹Uses AI tools as core infrastructure

Nice to have

• ▹Prior experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, or technical customer success
• ▹Background in instructional design, facilitation, or learning science
• ▹Experience at a developer tools company: IDE, API platform, DevOps, or AI tooling
• ▹Familiarity with enterprise engineering environments: how decisions get made, how rollouts happen, where adoption stalls
• ▹Content creation experience: technical writing, video tutorials, or live coding sessions
