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
You’ll be a Strategic Account Executive selling Cursor into consumer-facing enterprises where engineering velocity impacts revenue and customer experience (ecommerce, marketplaces, hospitality platforms, media/streaming, entertainment brands). You’ll win by proving real-world impact and scaling adoption across large product engineering orgs.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own a vertical portfolio and net-new strategy across retail/hospitality/entertainment
- Build relationships across Product Engineering, DevEx, Security, and Procurement
- Tie Cursor to outcomes like faster launches, fewer defects, and reduced operational toil
- Run hands-on POVs with real repos and production workflows
- Navigate enterprise security/compliance reviews and commercial negotiation
- Drive adoption plans (enablement, champions, rollout sequencing) and expansions
- Share customer learnings to sharpen Cursor’s positioning and rollout playbooks
YOU MAY BE A FIT IF
- You have 7+ years enterprise closing experience; consumer/internet background is a plus
- You’re comfortable selling to technical buyers and quantifying business impact
- You have strong outbound + account planning chops; you create pipeline consistently
- 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 are a high ownership IC who moves fast and communicates crisply
