About Cyberhaven
What is Cyberhaven?
Cyberhaven is a data security company on a mission "to protect your data wherever it lives and goes." Its AI and data-security platform unifies DSPM, DLP, Insider Risk Management, and AI Security to protect data across endpoints, cloud, on-prem, SaaS, and AI tools. What sets Cyberhaven apart is data lineage: rather than relying on static classification, the platform "trace[s] end-to-end data lineage with context-aware AI classification," following data from its origin to understand context, detect risk, and stop threats in real time. This "Data Detection and Response" approach is paired with Cyberhaven's Linea AI agents — a Detection Agent that flags risky behavior instantly and an Analyst Agent that "launches investigations, analyzing screen activity, history, and data lineage in real time to deliver clear reports." The company was founded in 2016 by five PhDs from EPFL who won the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge, and it is backed by $250M from leading investors including Khosla and Redpoint.
Where will I work?
Cyberhaven is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and runs a globally distributed team — its rallying phrase is "No borders. Just TRACERS." Alongside the Mountain View HQ, the company anchors hubs in Denver, Austin, Bangalore, Romania, and Switzerland, while "our team spans the globe." Many roles are remote-friendly: live openings across Sales, Sales Engineering, and Customer Experience are advertised as remote or hybrid, and engineering postings support distributed teammates across multiple time zones.
What is the Cyberhaven team like?
The culture is built around a "tracer mindset — curious, intentional, human" and four stated values: "Act Boldly," "Innovate to Win," "Earn Trust Everyday," and "Prioritize & Execute." Job descriptions describe the team as "security and product professionals passionate about transforming the way data is protected" and prize lifelong learners who "approach our work with curiosity and an open mind, never settling for good enough." With leaders who built industry-defining technologies at CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Meta, and Google, it's a fast-moving, high-ownership environment where early contributors can have "substantial impact on the product architecture."

Perks and Benefits
