You operate where real customer environments meet product engineering—turning complex deployments, failures, and edge cases into concrete product and reliability improvements.This role is hands-on, highly technical, and outward-facing. You are part of R&D, and will partner with SRE, Sales Engineering, Professional Services, and Customer Support to accelerate successful customer outcomes while strengthening CI’s architecture, operability, and scalability as DSPM on-prem connectors become the norm.\nWhat you’ll do\nAct as an R&D owner for customer deployments of on-prem and hybrid Content Inspection (CI), ensuring real-world requirements inform product behavior and roadmap decisions.\nWork directly with customers to architect, deploy, and validate CI in production environments, including Kubernetes, Helm, networking, security, and performance considerations.\nLead investigation of complex customer issues by reproducing them in lab or test clusters, either delivering fixes or driving them to resolution within R&D.\nServe as a technical point of contact for high-severity CI incidents, joining customer bridges and coordinating resolution across R&D, SRE, and Customer Support.\nPartner with SRE on reliability, capacity planning, upgrade safety, and operational readiness for on-prem CI.\nCollaborate with Sales Engineering during late-stage evaluations and technical deep dives to ensure CI can meet customer architecture, scale, and security requirements.\nCo-lead deployments and upgrades with Professional Services, validating prerequisites, reviewing configurations, and shaping best practices for repeatable success.\nAct as the R&D point person for DSPM on-prem connectors, supporting design partners, validating new capabilities, and enabling large-scale customer rollouts.\nDrive product improvements by owning feedback related to diagnostics, observability, configuration safety, upgrade/rollback behavior, and supportability.\nCreate internal design notes, runbooks, and technical documentation that bridge customer reality and engineering intent.\nParticipate in design reviews, release readiness, and post-incident retrospectives to ensure customer learnings are captured and acted on.\nWho you are\n3+ years of experience in Forward Deployed Engineering, Production Engineering, SRE, or customer-facing roles embedded within an R&D or product engineering organization.\nDeep, hands-on experience with Linux, containers, and Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed clusters).\nExperience delivering and operating on-prem or hybrid enterprise software, including Kubernetes platforms and virtual appliances.\nStrong understanding of enterprise networking and security (TLS, DNS, load balancers, proxies, firewalls).\nSkilled at debugging distributed systems using logs, metrics, and traces, and comfortable navigating unfamiliar systems quickly.\nConfident working directly with enterprise customers on architecture discussions, deployments, and high-severity incidents.\nProduct-minded: you naturally turn customer friction into actionable engineering improvements.\nClear communicator who can operate across engineering, go-to-market, and customer-facing teams.\nJoining Cyberhaven is a chance to revolutionize data security. Traditional tools fall short, but we’ve reimagined protection with AI-enabled data lineage that analyzes billions of workflows to understand data, detect risk, and stop threats. Backed by $250M from leading investors like Khosla and Redpoint, our team includes leaders who built industry-defining technologies at CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Meta, Google, and more.
