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.\nAbout the Role\nAs an AI Research Team Lead on Cyera’s Research group, you will mentor a talented team of researchers, set the strategic vision for research initiatives, and drive team-wide project goals. You’ll partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to turn open-ended data-security challenges into measurable experiments and shipped features. You will manage the critical balance between research exploration and product delivery, owning the end-to-end lifecycle-from problem framing and data strategy to evaluation, deployment, and ongoing monitoring-helping customers discover, protect, and govern their data at scale.\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead and mentor a team of AI researchers, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation while overseeing the end-to-end research lifecycle.\nYou will act as the technical and strategic lead, defining team priorities, roadmap, and data science methodologies.\nMentor and grow team members through technical guidance, career development, and peer reviews.\nCollaborate with cross-functional leadership in Product and Engineering to align research efforts with core business objectives and customer needs.\nManage team performance, resource allocation, and timely project delivery within an agile environment.\nDevelop, evaluate, and maintain deep learning and NLP solutions to enhance Cyera’s core capabilities in sensitive data classification. \nDesign and architect production-grade agentic workflows. Establish rigorous evaluation pipelines to benchmark agent accuracy, latency, and cost, ensuring reliable, scalable solutions for real-world customer problems\nInnovation and creative thinking are the keys! Implementing ML models to the entire research process - clustering, text extraction, document analysis, and tabular data classification. \nJoin a “full stack” AI group, including research engineering, MLEs, data operations, and security researchers. You will accelerate the path from research to production, ensuring results are both quick and precise.\nRequirements\nWho You Are\nMust-Haves\nBSc in computer science, math, physics, or a related field\n7+ years of experience as an AI Researcher/NLP Researcher/Applied Scientist, including experience leading or managing research teams\nProven track record of building and managing high-performing AI research / Data Science teams.\nSolid grounding in core machine and deep learning concepts and techniques, data challenges (imbalance, scaling etc.), and evaluation.\nDemonstrated expertise in applying LLMs - prompt engineering and prompt tuning (few-shot, chain-of-thought, tool/function calling, routing), task adaptation (instruction/SFT, PEFT/LoRA, DPO/RLHF), retrieval-augmented generation, rigorous evaluation and production deployment with appropriate safety, latency, and cost controls.\nSelf-learner, initiator, able to quickly learn new technologies\nExperience in NLP - a significant advantage\nWhy Join Us?\nAt Cyera, we care about collaboration, innovation, and agility. We take “teamwork” seriously-with our inclusive and supportive culture at the forefront-and we’re just as serious about nurturing Cyerans to grow, both personally and professionally.\nFeel free to apply even if your experience doesn’t tick every box.\nWe’re building something special here-and we welcome Cyerans with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4064,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Security","Information Security","Data Loss Prevention"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-09T06:50:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.807,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":57,"expected_fill_days":53,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cyera-ai-research-team-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cyera-ai-research-team-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T11:17:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14466,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":17615},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=17615"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcyera-ai-research-team-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcyera-ai-research-team-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcyera-ai-research-team-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cyera-ai-research-team-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcyera-ai-research-team-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":562664}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cyera.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":562664},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
