Cursor, the AI coding startup that recently signed a major deal with SpaceX, is gearing up to expand its hiring in the Asia-Pacific region.
Nick Miller, a field engineer involved in Cursor’s expansion, told Business Insider that the company plans to hire 200 employees in Singapore, Japan, Sydney, Melbourne and India within the next six months.
The San Francisco-based company is primarily focused on adding staff in roles that help get products into customers’ hands, including go-to-market jobs, field engineers, and AI implementation engineers.
Mr. Miller said Cursor plans to open an office in London in July and smaller offices in cities across Europe.
Simon Green, a longtime Asia-Pacific technology executive who most recently worked at Palo Alto Networks, opened Cursol’s Singapore office earlier this month. Miller said the company’s second hire in Singapore will be a recruiter, adding that candidates will also be interviewed in the US.
The company’s website lists around 90 positions available in Australia, New York, Berlin, London and the Netherlands.
Cursor has approximately 800 employees in San Francisco and New York.
In late April, Elon Musk’s SpaceX announced a deal with Cursor that gave it the right to buy the AI-coding startup for $60 billion, or pay $10 billion for Cursor’s work if it wasn’t acquired.
“We’re excited to partner with the SpaceX team to scale up Composer. This is a meaningful step on our path to building the best place to code with AI,” said Cursor Co-Founder. CEO Michael Tuell.
Cursor’s public client list includes Stripe, Coinbase, Discord, Salesforce, Neuralink, and Nvidia.
Nvidia, which invested in Cursor’s parent company, uses the platform across its engineering and chip design teams, CEO Jensen Huang said in October.
“All of our engineers now have AI,” he said. “Productivity has increased and we work much better.”
