Platform Engineer – Developer Experience

About Cyera

At Cyera, we are redefining cloud data security. Our platform rapidly scans massive cloud environments, giving customers clarity on their data and empowering them to prevent leaks before they happen. Backed by leading cyber investors and a stellar team, we’re growing fast and looking for exceptional engineers to scale with us.

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Platform Engineer who combines deep software engineering with a robust DevOps approach to help propel Cyera’s development infrastructure to the next level. At Cyera, SPEED is integral to our DNA. AI transforms the way we develop at speed, and our development infrastructure is key to the scale and hypergrowth. 

The DevX team is a multi-disciplinary group of DevOps and development experts focused on building and operating internal tools, infrastructure, and services to make engineering easy and intuitive at Cyera SPEED.

Your mission is to build a top-tier Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) platform. You will own both the application services and the infrastructure that supports them, ensuring speed, stability, and reliability for our entire R&D organization.

Key Focus Areas & What You'll Do

• Improve CI/CD pipelines and CI workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions) with a focus on speed and reliability.
• Reduce CI flakiness and improve overall pipeline stability through systematic triage and root-cause analysis.
• Shorten developer feedback loops by optimizing test strategy, pipeline consistency, and local development workflows.
• Strengthen CD and release processes for secure, repeatable, and fast deployments.
• Promote best practices such as GitOps and progressive delivery where they fit.
• Track and improve delivery metrics, with emphasis on Lead Time for Changes and Deployment Frequency.
• Partner with engineering teams to identify friction and deliver scalable automation and paved paths.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience as a Platform Engineer or a strong Backend Engineer with a DevOps focus.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, versioning, and release management.
• Proven experience with modern build tools (e.g., Bazel, SWC) and managing CI workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Good skills with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Helm.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including containers (Docker), Kafka and cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Strong programming skills in Python, Go, TypeScript, or another modern backend language.
• Experience with monorepo tools (Lerna, NX, PNPM) is a big plus.
• Familiarity with GitOps workflows using tools like ArgoCD or Flux.
• A strong sense of ownership and a passion for making systems reliable, scalable, and improving the developer experience.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join a highly technical, hands-on team and be a leader in engineering.

• High Impact: Your work directly affects the speed and success of over 200 engineers in R&D.
• Expert Focus: Combine your backend engineering skills with system expertise, owning the core developer infrastructure.
• Solve Big Problems: You will solve important scaling and stability challenges for a fast-growing security platform.
• Own the Stack: You will build, own, and operate the tools that empower engineering.
