They find where your data is exposed, take action to remove it, and continuously defend your privacy in the background - turning what's always been a manual, reactive chore into something automated and continuous. 1B+ records removed to date, and now we're automating the entire fight. You'll own the technical roadmap end-to-end: agent architecture and orchestration, tool-use and integrations across third-party services, reliability and guardrails for non-deterministic systems, adversarial robustness against hostile web content, and the cloud infrastructure underneath. Long-term, this role grows beyond Agents. You'll contribute across Cloaked's engineering org and help shape how we build AI-native consumer products at scale. WHAT WILL YOU DO? * Lead the technical roadmap and architecture for Cloaked's AI agent platform * Design and build production agents that monitor, manage, and enforce users' privacy across their digital footprint autonomously * Build agents that take real action on users' behalf - submitting data-removal requests, navigating opt-out flows, and adjusting privacy settings across hundreds of services * Build defenses for adversarial environments, including prompt injection, untrusted web content, and hostile data sources * Integrate and evaluate frontier models (LLMs, agent frameworks, tool-use) for production use * Own the orchestration layer, integrations, and the cloud infrastructure the agents run on * Collaborate with design, mobile, and product teams to ship agent experiences that feel effortless to end users * Serve as the AI agents domain expert on the team, raising the engineering bar through code reviews, architecture discussions, and mentorship * Help the team ship features faster and with fewer bugs by setting the technical standard for the product * Actively leverage AI tools in day-to-day engineering work * Contribute across engineering teams beyond Agents as the business scales, We offer flexible work arrangements and the ability to work remotely as needed.

Perks Competitive PTO: We encourage employees to take a minimum # of vacation per quarter. We see PTO as a preventative burnout measure and are committed to changing the industry standard. Monthly health stipend: Used for any kind of physical, mental or emotional care you'd like to take for yourself, be it a gym membership, a meditation app, or time with a personal trainer. Late Night Meals: We understand that sometimes work can get in the way of meal prep. In response to that, we offer employees a monthly meal stipend to be used when they don't have time to get a home cooked meal going! Professional Growth: Opportunities for career development and personal growth are provided to all employees who seek to further their knowledge and capabilities through an unlimited professional development fund. Additionally team members are encouraged to regularly attend conferences and industry events. We are really excited about having you join our mission-driven team and help us build the future of online privacy!
