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.\nSpaceXSI 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.\nFIELD ENGINEER, PUBLIC SECTOR\nWe're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic customers across Public Sector. You'll be the technical face of SpaceXSI for the federal civilian and defense agencies modernizing how software gets written: helping developers, engineering leaders, and program teams evaluate our platform, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see the full value of agentic coding in their real workflows.

This role is also eligible for sales commissions or bonuses, with an annual on-target earnings (OTE) range of $235,000 - $320,000. 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.\nYour 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.\nBase 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3789,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Life insurance","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Government","AI Agents","Code Intelligence","AI Development Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T23:45:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":89,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T02:29:04Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":224000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T02:29:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5804,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":16873},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=16873"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcursor-field-engineer-public-sector-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3991915}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cursor.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3991915},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
