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

As the Senior Security & Enterprise Architect, you will design and implement the security and enterprise architecture strategy across Cyera's internal ecosystem. You will define standard architecture guidelines and governance patterns for engineering teams, lead architectural evaluations for software acquisitions and internal systems, and partner with Security to evaluate, communicate, and mitigate enterprise risk through informed, risk-based decision-making.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Set the standards: Own security architecture standards, reference patterns and guardrails that security engineering and IT build against, so teams can move fast and stay secure.
• Run architecture reviews: Stand up and chair an Architecture Review Board for new applications, vendors, acquisition integrations and AI adoption, making clear calls on what to approve, consolidate or decline.
• Drive third-party governance: Support GRC by building an end-to-end third-party risk management lifecycle, establishing a single source of truth for all vendors and apps, and maintaining clear application catalog ownership.
• Be the architecture voice externally: Serve as the technical voice for customer and auditor architecture questions, including security questionnaires and enterprise reviews, so answers are accurate and consistent.
• Keep decisions documented: Maintain architecture decision records (ADRs) and diagrams so the reasoning behind our choices is clear, current and easy to reuse.

Requirements

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 10+ years in security or enterprise architecture, including design work in a SaaS or cloud-native environment.
• Strength in IAM/IGA, cloud security (AWS, GCP, and Azure), SaaS and app-integration security, and data security (DSPM/DLP).
• Hands-on experience architecting AI/agentic systems and securing LLM tooling.
• Familiarity with ISO 27001/42001, SOC 2, NIST, and the vendor-risk and audit frameworks that follow from them.
• Pragmatic, comfortable pushing back on engineering and IT, and able to use AI tools to prototype quickly.

NICE TO HAVE

• TOGAF, SABSA, CISSP or CCSP; experience in a global enterprise.
