As the role of the engineer evolves, we are moving beyond siloed AI tools toward a future of true agent-human partnerships. To explore this shift, we are excited to feature a session at PagerDuty OnTour SF with Jonas Nelle, Head of Engineering for Agents at Cursor, and Rukmini Reddy, SVP of Engineering at PagerDuty.


This discussion will dive into how organizations can move from reactive recovery to predictive resilience. By utilizing protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), teams can provide agents with a unified view of their codebase and PagerDuty incident history. This integration allows agents to bridge the gap between code logic and runtime reality, transforming them from first responders into "prevention architects" that flag risky patterns before they ever reach production.


The conversation will also tackle the cultural shifts required for this new era. With the PagerDuty and Cursor MCP integration in mind, Jonas and Rukmini will share practical strategies for designing workflows where humans provide the strategic intuition and ethical guardrails while agents handle the volume and speed of operational data.


Join us on May 13th for a candid look at how Cursor builds Cursor and what it means for the future of your engineering team.
