Cloud Partner Sales Manager

Coder and SpaceXAI collaborate to bring agentic coding inside the world's most regulated enterprises. Coder Agent Relay lets banks, government agencies, and global enterprises run Cursor's cloud agents entirely on their own infrastructure, opening a market that vendor-hosted tools have never been able to serve. AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Coder today announced Coder Agent Relay, a self-hosted execution environment for cloud coding agents, with SpaceXAI as its launch partner. Cursor Cloud Agents can now run inside Coder workspaces on infrastructure the customer already operates. Developers keep the Cursor experience they know - app, web, and mobile - while Cursor continues to run the agent loop, including inference and planning. Tool calls execute in Coder environments on the customer's network, so source code, secrets, and internal services stay on machines they control. The market AI coding has not been able to reach Demand for AI coding agents inside large enterprises has exploded, and adoption in regulated industries hasn't kept pace, but not for the reason most people assume. Developers in these organizations want the same tools everyone else has. The blocker is the deployment model. Banks, defense agencies, government institutions, and global enterprises operate under requirements that vendor-hosted tools can't satisfy: source code needs controlled access, execution environments need security and governance that prevent data exfiltration, and every action needs to be auditable. Those requirements have kept the best AI coding tools out of the environments that stand to gain the most from them. Gartner projects that 80% of enterprise software engineers will need to upskill for generative AI by 2027. In the most regulated sectors, security and compliance review still decide which tools ever reach a developer. That is precisely the market Coder opens. Coder is the self-hosted infrastructure the world's most demanding organizations already trust to run development inside their own walls. Pairing that foundation with SpaceXAI's agentic experience turns a market that has been closed to vendor-hosted AI tools into one the two companies can finally enter together. AI needs an operating layer The modern enterprise stack runs in layers: application, data, compute. AI fits none of them. It touches all three and belongs to none, which is why organizations everywhere hit the same wall the moment AI moves from pilots into production. The AI Operating Layer is the layer AI requires: where AI runs inside the organization, on its own infrastructure, under its own policies, visible to its own teams. Built right, it enforces five things: data stays inside the boundary, every task sees only what it was granted, only approved models run, every action leaves a record, and spend is capped before it accumulates. That is what ends the trade-off AI programs keep being forced into, speed or safety. Teams adopt whatever tools make them fastest, agents work with real autonomy, and the layer underneath holds. The collaboration extends Coder's ability to deliver: Cursor's agents now execute within the enterprise-controlled governed environments, bringing autonomous development to the industries where the layer matters most. "Enterprises never rejected AI agents. They rejected the deployment model. The model was never the bottleneck. What has kept this work out of production is everything that comes after the pilot: where the code runs, who has access, what the agent can reach, and what record exists afterward. Those are infrastructure questions, and Coder was built to answer them. Cursor builds a coding experience developers love. We give it the ground to run on inside a bank, an agency, or a defense program," said Rob Whiteley, CEO of Coder. What Coder Agent Relay delivers The collaboration pairs a joint go-to-market motion with a direct product integration that gives enterprises greater security, governance, and control over cloud-hosted coding agents. Each Coder workspace can start a Cursor worker that opens an outbound connection to Cursor. Platform teams can provision and scale those workspaces the same way they already manage developer environments, so regulated organizations can deploy Cloud Agents at scale next to private code and custom hardware without giving up Cursor's product surface or the security and standardization of Coder workspaces. * Your perimeter, your rules. Workspaces run on the customer's cloud, VPC, or on-premises environment. Code does not leave, and network egress policy is set once by the platform team and enforced uniformly across every workspace, developer or agent. Air-gapped deployment is available where no external access is acceptable. * Boundaries by architecture, not by trust. Agent environments are sandboxed, ephemeral, and scoped to a single task. A prompt injection that would push an agent toward unauthorized resources is blocked at the environment layer, not left to the model to refuse. * Policy as infrastructure. Approved models, permitted data sources, and available resources are defined once at the environment level and inherited by every workspace that follows, without per-team reconfiguration. * A complete record. Every run produces a log of what the agent accessed, executed, changed, and was blocked from doing, so compliance reporting for any time window does not have to be reconstructed by hand. "Engineering teams want to build with Cursor. Enterprise security policies require that sensitive information not leave its own infrastructure. Coder provides those teams a path to run Cursor inside environments they fully control, giving developers the experience they want while maintaining the security controls they need," said Toni Adams, Sr Director, Partnerships at SpaceXAI. The foundation for enterprise AI development SpaceXAI is the first of several partnerships Coder is building around a simple idea: the industry's best AI coding tools should run inside any organization, on any infrastructure, without the organization giving up control to get them. SpaceXAI is the first agent provider with Agent Relay, and the integration is designed to extend self-hosted execution to more over time. Enterprises have been here before. When cloud moved infrastructure out of the building, companies stood up platform teams to govern how it was provisioned, secured, and paid for. AI is forcing the same mandate now, with a twist: much of the work is coming back inside the organization's own walls. The principle hasn't changed; only the technology has. Coder is where enterprises build the layer it runs on. Availability Coder Agent Relay for Cursor is currently in private preview with design partners.

About Coder Coder is the AI Operating Layer for the enterprise: self-hosted, model- and cloud-agnostic infrastructure that runs AI inside the organization's own environment, under its own policies, and in full view of its own teams. Global 2000 enterprises and government agencies use Coder to give developers and autonomous agents one governed workspace, moving source code off laptops and onto centrally managed infrastructure that platform teams can secure, audit, and scale. With more than 125,000 GitHub stars and trusted by the world's most regulated organizations, Coder is built for the agentic era. Learn more at coder.com.
