## Job description

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.

## REGIONAL DIRECTOR, AI DEPLOYMENT

As Regional Director, AI Deployment at SpaceXSI, you'll lead and develop a team of AI Deployment Managers supporting some of our most strategic enterprise customers. This role exists to scale adoption quality and consistency as demand accelerates, translating SpaceXSI's momentum into repeatable, high-impact deployment outcomes while preserving the speed, flexibility, and developer-first ethos that make SpaceXSI successful. You'll own the post-sale experience for our enterprise segment, working closely with Sales and Field Engineering to ensure customers achieve measurable engineering and business value from SpaceXSI. This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of customer success, technical depth, and strategic leadership.

## RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Hire, lead, and develop a team of AI Deployment, including onboarding, coaching, performance management, and ongoing skill development
- Own post-sale account planning, with accountability for account health, usage, risk mitigation, and expansion pipeline generation
- Act as an escalation point for complex deployments and high-stakes enterprise accounts; build lightweight, scalable processes that codify what works while preserving speed, flexibility, and low friction
- Guide best practices around rollout strategy, prompt design, context configuration, and internal enablement
- Partner closely with Sales and Field Engineering to deliver a seamless post-sale experience and support expansion opportunities
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to advocate for customer needs, influence roadmap priorities, and drive product adoption

## BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

- 4+ years of experience leading customer-facing technical teams in TAM, Solutions, Deployment, or similar roles
- Experience owning post-sale retention or renewal outcomes for enterprise software or AI platform customers

## PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

- Experience managing ADM, TAM, or CSM teams for developer tools, DevOps, or AI/ML platforms
- Familiarity with software development lifecycles and enterprise AI: AI coding tools, AI agents, and LLM APIs
- Experience presenting adoption and ROI results to VP Engineering, CTO, CIO, and line-of-business buyers
- A high-agency, scrappy operator who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Care deeply about AI and believe that transforming how software is written is one of the most important problems to work on right now

## ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

- Must be willing to travel to customer sites as needed

## COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

The expected annual base salary range for this role is $245,000 - $280,000. This role is also eligible for sales commissions or bonuses, with an annual on-target earnings (OTE) range of $350,000 - $400,000. OTE includes base salary plus target incentive compensation, assuming 100% achievement of applicable performance targets. Actual incentive earnings depend on performance and the terms of the applicable plan. Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience. Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.

## About Cursor

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Cursor is an AI coding agent and software development environment that enables developers to build, test, and ship software using natural-language instructions and autonomous agents.
- **Entity Type**: Private (pending acquisition by SpaceX/xAI)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Michael Truell, Sualeh Asif, Aman Sanger, Arvid Lunnemark

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Artificial intelligence, developer tools, software development

- **Cloud Agents**: Agents that run in their own cloud environments to build, test, and demo features end-to-end.
- **Graphite**: A separate product acquired by Cursor (formerly a stack-based Git workflow tool).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: $29.3 billion (Series D, November 2025); pending acquisition by SpaceX/xAI at $60 billion (announced June 16, 2026)
- **Key Metric**: $3 billion+ Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) as of May 2026
- **Notable Investors**: Accel, Coatue Management, Thrive Capital, OpenAI Startup Fund, Google, Nvidia; angel investors include Nat Friedman (former GitHub CEO) and Arash Ferdowsi (Dropbox co-founder)
- **Growth Signals**: Crossed $100M ARR in Jan 2025, $500M ARR by June 2025, $1B ARR by Nov 2025, and $3B ARR by May 2026. Headcount grew from ~300 (2025) to 579 (mid-2026). Expanding into mobile, Jira integration, and enterprise features.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary coding models (Composer series)** trained with reinforcement learning specifically for software development tasks — a deep technical moat
