About Us

Built by ex–nation-state operators and AI researchers, Cracken is the world’s first Uncensored Vibe Hacking platform that safely amplifies security teams and gives enterprises proven, auditable security resilience.

Whom We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Design Engineer - a rare blend of product designer and frontend developer - to own the end-to-end UI/UX of our AI-native cybersecurity platform. You will shape how security teams interact with an AI agent in high-stakes, real-world workflows. That means clean, precise interfaces where every interaction is intentional and every pixel earns its place. This is a hands-on role. You design it, you build it.

What You’ll Do
  • Own UI/UX from concept to production-ready code across the core product

  • Build and maintain a frontend design system in React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS

  • Translate complex security workflows into interfaces that feel intuitive to practitioners

  • Collaborate directly with backend engineers and security researchers to ship features fast

  • Define interaction patterns for human-in-the-loop AI experiences

  • Contribute to design reviews, component architecture, and frontend standards

Must-Have Experience
  • 4+ years building user-facing products as a design engineer or equivalent hybrid role

  • Strong proficiency in ReactJS, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS

  • Ability to own design decisions end-to-end without a dedicated design team

  • Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and responsive design

  • Experience working directly with engineers and PMs in fast-moving environments

TECHNICAL STACK

Experience with tools such as:

  • ReactJS + TypeScript + TailwindCSS

  • Figma (design handoff and systems)

  • WebSockets, Docker

Nice to Have
  • Experience designing for developer tools, data-intensive dashboards, or AI interfaces

  • Familiarity with human-in-the-loop workflows, LLM agent UX, or security tools

  • Contributions to open-source UI frameworks or design systems

  • Background in early-stage startups or cross-functional product squads

  • Interest in cybersecurity and/or AI-enabled tooling — curiosity is enough, deep expertise not required

Why Cracken?
  • Real-world impact

Our technology is validated in high-stakes, real-world environments and grounded in hands-on internal research.

  • Team with a mission

Ukrainian-heavy international team of PhDs, professors, and senior industry engineers, driven by intrinsic motivation and real-world adversity.

  • Adaptive roles

We shape roles around exceptional talent — your ownership and drive will define your path.

  • Perfect timing

Operating at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems, Cracken is uniquely positioned to build resilient security products.

What We Offer
  • Ownership over a core product surface

  • Direct collaboration with founders and senior engineers

  • High autonomy and real influence on product direction

  • Fully remote and flexible work setup

  • Competitive compensation

What We Do

Release the Cracken. Defend what matters. Cracken is the first Red-AI Copilot built for real offense, not an ordinary CNAPP or endpoint security. We arm defenders with nation-state grade attack logic at machine speed, under full human command. Not black boxes. No fluff. Born on the hardest frontlines of cyber conflict -- Ukraine, US, EU -- Cracken is built by operators who know what it means to face adversaries that don't play fair. We are turning that battlefield DNA into the only agentic AI platform that simulates live, adaptative attacks across cloud, endpoint, and hybrid environments. Why it matters: ⚡Human-in-the-Loop control: every action is transparent, auditable, and reversible. CISOs don't trust black-box AI. We give them speed and oversight. ⚡Accuracy over noise: no posture fluff, no false positives. Only validated, exploitable risk that matters. ⚡100% faster coverage than manual red teams. ⚡Undetected vulnerabilities caught before exploitation (proven in North America and Ukraine's critical infrastructure). ⚡Zero black-box risk with audit trails, rollbacks, and operator trust at the core. ⚡Regulatory ready for CISA, EU AI Act, and global oversight. ⚡Quantifiable adoption with seamless integration into CI/CD multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Cracken is not another CNAPP, CIEM or compliance dashboard. Those show posture. We show truth. Attackers don't wait, neither should you. 👉Investors, customers, and security leaders: join us in weaponizing defense. Let's release the Cracken! www.cracken.ai
