Senior Software Engineer

Cloaked is a consumer privacy and identity platform on a mission to give people back control of their personal data. We let anyone generate unlimited identities - masked emails, phone numbers, and payment cards - scrub their information off data-broker sites, and shield themselves from spam, scams, and breaches, all from one app. Backed by a $375M Series B, we've protected 10M+ identities and removed 1B+ records from the data brokers who profit off personal information. Now we're building the AI-native future of privacy: autonomous agents that monitor, manage, and defend your digital footprint for you.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build across Cloaked's privacy platform - the identity, data-removal, and payments products (including Cloaked Pay) that millions of people trust to take back control of their personal data. 10M+ identities protected and 1B+ records removed to date.

You'll work across the stack on systems that scale to millions of users, backed by our zero-knowledge, end-to-end-encrypted architecture - and contribute wherever the hardest problems are as we build AI-native consumer products at scale.

• Lead the roadmap and implementation of the features you own, identifying improvements that will enable new functionality for existing and new products

• Take ownership of new greenfield products and gain valuable experience in building new products

• Collaborate with cross-functional groups - frontend, backend, design, etc., leading to innovation and growth

• Seamlessly move across the stack from frontend to backend building new features and delighting our customers

• Tackle challenging problems in a collaborative environment as we continue to scale our customer base 10x.

• Elevate the team with your ability to connect the front and backend teams

• Significant experience building and shipping production software end-to-end, ideally at a consumer or growth-stage company

• Strong front-end fundamentals, with experience building high-quality, responsive user interfaces (we care more about the fundamentals than any specific framework)

• Proficiency in Python or a similar object-oriented language, with experience building scalable backend systems

• AI-forward: you use AI tooling (Claude, ChatGPT, and others) fluently to ship faster, and you're excited to build in a product org where AI is core to what we make. Experience shipping AI-powered features is a plus, not a requirement

• Experience designing and deploying secure, production-grade APIs

• Strong understanding of databases, ORMs, and backend architecture patterns

• A track record of owning end-to-end systems and delivering high-quality, scalable software, with sound architectural and system-design judgment

• Familiarity with modern tooling, testing, and CI/CD practices

   

• A get-it-done mindset. Our team is driven to create new solutions and resolve problems in a fast-paced environment

• Comfort working with various teams across the org to determine the best solution

• Passion for security and internet ethics

• Startup or growth-stage company experience

• Interest in data and analytics

• Care and respect for our customers' privacy as if it were your own

   

Cloaked is a well-funded Series B startup based out of NYC.

Although we are a distributed team, the NYC team operates with a hybrid model. The office building is home to several amenities, including a gourmet cafe, cocktail bar, and a rooftop work area.

We have a fully built out kitchen packed with drinks and snacks. The Cloaked team has diverse interests and so we frequently embark on team outings and go out for socials!

We offer above market rate pay and equity based off of the market’s best commercially available data. Your compensation will be a combination of salary, bonus and equity.

Cloaked employees have 401K, as well as top of the line Health, Dental, and Vision benefits.

We offer flexible work arrangements and the ability to work remotely as needed. Cloaked provides a home office stipend in addition to a new company laptop (and other tech depending on the role).

🌴 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!
