About Cyera

Cyera is an AI-native data security platform that helps enterprises discover, classify, govern, and protect sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and AI environments. Backed by Accel, Lightspeed and Sequoia.

About the role

We are seeking a Platform Architect / Forward Deployed Engineer to join Cyera's Platform Architecture team. This is not an advisory or liaison role. You will personally architect, deploy, and operate Kubernetes-based infrastructure inside customer cloud environments — writing the Terraform, configuring the networking, debugging the production issues that arise — from the first technical conversation in the sales cycle through go-live, then handing off a working system to Customer Success.

What they're looking for

  • U.S. Citizenship or U.S. Permanent Residency (Green Card). This role supports customer environments with government and federal compliance requirements (including FedRAMP) that require U.S. person status
  • Terraform or equivalent IaC that you have personally written and shipped — not reviewed, not inherited
  • Genuine depth in at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Depth in one beats shallow exposure to three
  • Quantifiable outcomes from your own work — uptime, cost reduction, deployment-time reduction, scale. We will ask for them
  • Cloud networking, identity and security configuration — VPC and peering, private connectivity, IAM
  • A self-driven, "figure it out" mindset — comfortable being dropped into an unfamiliar customer environment and expected to solve the problem, not wait for a script
