Applied Researcher
Location: Tel Aviv (IL)
Experience Level: Senior
Description
Come join the company building the security operating model for the age of AI. AI has changed how data is used — and security must change with it. Cyera's mission is to empower businesses to accelerate AI Adoption by defining a holistic approach to securing AI - from data to access to model. Instead of perimeter controls and static policies, Cyera provides a unified control plane that understands relationships between data, access, and behaviors across humans, systems, and AI. Backed by the world’s leading investors and working with a large and growing list of Fortune 1000 companies, we are looking for world-class talent to join us as we usher in the new era of data and AI security.
About the Team
This team builds the core scanning logic that allows Cyera to operate at true enterprise scale. Its mission is to expand data coverage and increase scanning efficiency by designing intelligent processing strategies, heuristics, and models tailored to different data types and environments. By making scanning faster, more scalable, and more cost-effective, the team enables Cyera to analyze vastly more data across customer estates—turning large-scale classification from a theoretical capability into a practical, affordable reality for organizations of any size.
What You’ll Do
- Lead applied research to improve large-scale data scanning, from hypothesis formulation to validation and impact measurement.
- Investigate system and data behavior at scale to surface constraints and opportunities for smarter scanning.
- Design heuristics and processing logic that scale the product while keeping classification quality as a north star.
- Translate research findings into scalable, production-ready solutions under real system constraints.
- Collaborate closely with data science, engineering, and product teams to influence product decisions through data-driven insights.
