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 QA to own quality end-to-end across our core cybersecurity products. You'll sit at the intersection of QA engineering, cybersecurity, and AI agent testing - orchestrating test processes, stabilizing release pipelines, and building the test infrastructure that lets us ship stable products to customers faster and more frequently.

You'll work closely with sales engineers, cybersecurity researchers, and software engineers throughout the development lifecycle. Beyond writing tests, you'll become a product expert who understands the purpose of every feature, where bugs originate, and how our AI agent architecture should behave under pressure.

What You’ll Do

Core QA Ownership

  • Design and own end-to-end integration, smoke, and regression test suites for core product areas

  • Create and maintain test scenarios, test cases, and test metrics dashboards

  • Schedule automated test suites to run continuously against production and dev environments

  • Validate system behavior across functional, integration, and regression testing

Stability & Release Quality

  • Stabilize production and dev environments to enable more frequent, predictable releases

  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and enforce release quality gates

  • Debug test failures, perform root cause analysis, and iterate on coverage gaps

AI Agent & Cybersecurity Testing

  • Understand how our AI agent-based cybersecurity product works and design tests that validate its behavior end-to-end

  • Collaborate closely with the cybersecurity team to understand expected product outcomes and edge cases

  • Test AI-driven features - not just using AI tools to write tests, but testing the AI agents themselves

Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Work alongside software engineers, sales engineers, and the cybersecurity team throughout development

  • Participate in design and code reviews with a quality and maintainability focus

  • Evolve into a product knowledge owner – the person who knows how every feature works, what to expect, and where bugs tend to hide

Must-Have Experience
  • 3–5+ years of experience as an SDET or QA Automation Engineer

  • Ability to read and write code in at least one language - Python, JavScript/TypeScript, Go

  • Experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks from scratch

  • Solid understanding of software development and testing best practices

  • Exposure to cybersecurity products or security-adjacent domains; offensive security or red team experience is a strong plus

  • Understanding of how AI agents work - you need to know how to test them

  • Ability to work independently, take ownership of quality outcomes, and become a product expert

Nice to Have
  • Experience testing AI-driven or LLM-powered products

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices

  • Experience with distributed or cloud-native systems

  • Background in high-reliability or security-sensitive system testing

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 cybersecurity product

  • Direct collaboration with founders and senior engineers

  • High autonomy and real impact on product direction

  • Fully remote & flexible work setup

  • Competitive compensation

Skills Required

  • Cybersecurity background including pentesting, threat detection, or blue/red team experience
  • Hands-on experience with software testing or test automation
  • Strong programming skills in Python
  • Experience designing automated tests and writing bug reports
  • Comfortable working in a distributed and high-autonomy team

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
