Developer Advocate — Cursor India

About this Developer Advocate role at Cursor (Anysphere)

Cursor is looking for a senior Developer Advocate based in Bengaluru to build and teach the Indian developer community on AI-pair programming with the Cursor IDE. This is a rare opportunity to shape how engineers in India adopt modern AI development tools — a role that combines technical depth with content creation and community building.

What you'll do

• Demonstrate and teach AI-pair programming workflows using Cursor IDE to developers across India
• Create technical content (blog posts, videos, tutorials) that educate engineers on leveraging AI for faster, smarter coding
• Build and grow your developer audience through newsletters, Twitter, YouTube, or other channels — sharing practical insights on Cursor's capabilities
• Work directly with the Cursor engineering team to gather feedback from Indian developers and shape product direction
• Represent Cursor at developer events, conferences, and online communities across India
• Establish yourself as a trusted voice on AI-augmented development in the Indian tech ecosystem

Who should apply

You need at least 4+ years of software engineering experience and a proven track record creating technical content or building an audience (newsletter subscribers, Twitter followers, YouTube subscribers). This is a senior-level role for developers who code daily, understand software architecture, and can explain complex AI concepts clearly. You should already be proficient with Cursor or willing to become expert-level quickly. If you've shipped products, written technical blogs, or spoken at engineering events, you're exactly who Cursor wants.

Salary & offer in context

Cursor offers ₹40–80 LPA (approximately ₹3,33,000–₹6,66,000 per month) plus equity for this senior Developer Advocate role. In India's AI and startup ecosystem, a senior-level position combining engineering expertise and content creation typically commands ₹35–75 LPA; this package is competitive for someone with both deep technical skills and established audience reach.
