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
Cyera is looking for a Principal AI Technologist to help lead our AI security technical motion across strategic customers, field teams, and market-facing initiatives.
This is a senior, field-facing role for a highly technical leader who combines deep AI and security expertise with strong customer engagement skills, technical storytelling, and cross-functional influence. You will work at the intersection of customers, Sales, Sales Engineering, Field CTO, Product, Engineering, PMM, and the Field CISO team to help shape how Cyera sells, demonstrates, and scales its AI security leadership.
As a Principal AI Technologist, you will serve as a senior subject matter expert on AI security in customer and prospect engagements. You will help customers understand AI-related risk, governance, posture, and data security challenges; support strategic opportunities that require deeper AI expertise; and help translate market needs into product insight, technical messaging, enablement, and thought leadership.
This role is close to the Field CTO function in seniority and impact, with greater emphasis on domain depth, technical execution, and repeatable field leverage across AI-focused opportunities.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
AI Security Technical Leadership
- Serve as a senior AI security subject matter expert for customers, prospects, partners, and internal teams.
- Help articulate Cyera’s AI security vision, platform value, and differentiated technical approach in customer-facing engagements.
- Engage in high-impact opportunities where deeper AI expertise can materially improve technical credibility, positioning, or deal quality.
- Partner with Field CTOs on the largest and most strategic engagements, while also independently leading AI-focused technical workstreams across the field.
Strategic Customer Engagement
- Work directly with customer technical and executive stakeholders to understand AI initiatives, governance challenges, risk posture, and architectural requirements.
- Lead AI-focused discovery sessions, technical deep dives, workshops, and strategic POV design.
- Support conversations involving AI governance, model usage, sensitive data exposure, data flows, access controls, posture management, and emerging AI security requirements.
- Help elevate customer conversations from narrow use cases to broader platform and strategic outcomes.
