About this role
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
About the role
As a Commercial Account Executive at Cursor, you'll drive revenue growth by building strategic relationships with customers and helping them realize the full potential of Cursor for their development teams. You'll cover the full spectrum, from high velocity fast-growing startups to more complex Mid-Market deals, adapting your playbook to each.
You'll work closely with engineering organizations to understand their development workflows, demonstrate how Cursor transforms developer productivity, and guide them through evaluation, implementation, and expansion. This role combines technical fluency with sales expertise to help companies reimagine how software gets built with AI.
What you'll do
Win new business and drive revenue for Cursor. Find your way to the right people at prospective customers, educate them about AI-powered development, and help them succeed. You'll own the full sales cycle, from first call to close
Become a trusted product expert; guide prospects through trials, evaluations, and rollouts
Build and manage a healthy high velocity pipeline, meeting and exceeding quarterly targets
Lead multi-threaded sales cycles across Engineering, Product, Security, Procurement, and Legal

Quantify value with clear ROI cases tied to developer productivity and AI adoption
Design and execute innovative sales strategies; analyze market trends and translate high-level plans into targeted activities and campaigns
Be the voice of the customer and influence the roadmap with actionable feedback
Continuously refine the sales methodology by incorporating learnings into playbooks, templates, and best practices
You may be a fit if
You have 3+ years of closing experience in tech sales, ideally selling developer tools, technical SaaS, or emerging technologies
You have a consistent track record of landing new logos and exceeding quota and managing a high velocity of deals
You're a true hunter - you proactively build pipeline from scratch through outbound prospecting, creative sourcing, and relentless follow-up, rather than relying on inbound demand
You're comfortable navigating complex sales cycles and selling to technical stakeholders, from ICs to CTOs
You bring an analytical approach to understanding customer needs combined with creative, tactical follow-through to advance opportunities
You have a knack for bringing order to chaos and a genuine "roll up your sleeves" mentality
You're an excellent communicator who can present confidently and build trust across all levels of an organization
You're passionate about AI and excited by the idea that transforming how software gets written is one of the most important problems to work on right now
