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
We're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic customers across Public Sector. You'll be the technical face of SpaceXAI for the federal civilian and defense agencies modernizing how software gets written for the mission: helping developers, engineering leaders, and program teams evaluate Cursor, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see the full value of agentic coding in their real workflows.
You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Engineering as a deal partner, not a demo resource. You'll scope solutions, demonstrate capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor across the stakeholders that matter in PubSec: engineering leaders, architects, developers, security, procurement, and program leads. This is a highly customer-facing role where deep technical fluency, commercial instinct, and clear communication drive adoption and influence product direction.
What you'll do
Partner with AEs to own technical discovery, demos, POCs, and technical validation for new deals and expansion
Build trusted relationships across engineering, security, product and IT stakeholders
Go deep in mission-critical and high-security environments: developer workflows, AI tooling, complex / constrained setups
Help customers connect Cursor to outcomes that matter: developer productivity, secure software delivery, and mission velocity
Deliver technical presentations, whiteboards, and workshops for technical and executive audiences
Act as the customer's technical advocate internally with Product and Engineering
Partner with post-sales to hand off cleanly and set up onboarding for success
You may be a fit if
You have strong communication skills and executive presence, equally comfortable developing alongside engineers or presenting to CTOs, CISOs, and program leaders
You understand the SDLC and can connect technical detail to mission and operational impact
You have hands-on technical fluency (not full-time eng): workflows, AI tooling, complex / constrained environments
You have deal-partner strategic instincts: co-own with AEs and navigate complex, multi-threaded stakeholder maps
You have experience in Field Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Pre-Sales, or Consulting, ideally in federal, defense, or highly regulated tech
You're excited by Public Sector and comfortable learning agency buying motions, security expectations, and partner ecosystems fast
You hold or can obtain a federal security clearance (active clearance is a plus)
