WHO WE ARE

Come join the company at the center of how the world adopts AI securely. Cyera’s mission is to give enterprises the confidence to embrace AI safely — deciding exactly what it can see and do as it reaches deeper into the business. We started by solving the hardest problem in data security: finding and securing data faster and more precisely than anyone thought possible. That foundation is now the essential AI trust infrastructure for the Fortune 1000. We’re hiring mission-driven talent to put those leaders at the center of our story.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a highly technical team member to join our team, able to articulate high-level business benefits to the various target audiences, who is creative, innovative and results-oriented, willing to go the extra mile in a fast-paced startup environment.

As a Solutions Architect focused on AI Security, you are an integral part of the organization and will own technical presales efforts for Cyera’s AI Security offering. You will act as a technical expert who best understands and articulates the unique value proposition of Cyera’s AI Security solution, along with how it works alongside Cyera’s Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) products. 

This would involve performing Cyera AI Security demos, driving Proof of Values end-to-end, and owning the technical sales success of the Cyera platform. In addition, you will work closely with product management, marketing, core field sales teams, and engineering to influence the product strategy and roadmap, develop collateral, solution guides and compelling demos. You will act as a trusted advisor to customers, technology partners, and represent Cyera at industry events and conferences as needed. This is a highly visible and strategic position both within the company and across the industry and a great opportunity to advance your career and make an impactful contribution.
