What this interview will probe

Train and fine-tune the proprietary models behind Cursor's autocomplete and agent features, reducing reliance on third-party APIs by improving code-completion quality, latency, and cost. You'll work across data curation, model training, and evaluation loops tied directly to product metrics. A technical interview would probe transformer internals, fine-tuning and RL techniques for code models, and how you'd design evals that correlate offline model quality with real editor acceptance rates.
