• Create documentation, frameworks, and internal tooling that standardize and streamline deployments and support.

Customer‑Facing Architecture & Implementation

• Partner with field teams to design, guide, and troubleshoot complex customer deployments of Cyera’s platform.
• Lead the operationalization of Cyera’s data scanning and protection capabilities across cloud‑native and hybrid environments.

• Diagnose and triage complex customer issues involving cloud platforms, network configurations, and data pipelines.
• Work hands‑on with engineering teams to address high‑priority bugs and implementation blockers.
• Maintain a deep technical understanding of Cyera’s architecture and evolving security technologies.

Thought Leadership & Innovation

• Stay current on industry trends in data security, cloud technologies, and enterprise architecture.
• Act as a mentor to field‑facing technical teams, providing guidance on best practices, architecture, and use case alignment.
• Influence the product roadmap by identifying opportunities for improvement based on customer feedback and field experience.
