Senior Design Engineer

About the role

Cloaked is building a cyber expert at your side - one that watches, advises, and acts to keep you safe and private in the age of AI. 600k+ paying members already use Cloaked to take back control of their data, their identity, and who can reach them: masked emails, phone numbers, and payment cards, data removal from broker sites, and an AI voice agent that screens calls before they ring through. We've protected 10M+ identities, screened 50M+ calls, and removed 1B+ records from the data brokers who profit off personal information. Backed by a $375M Series B, we're now building the agents that turn detection into action - for individuals, families, and the companies that want to protect their people.

We're looking for a Senior Design Engineer to own the experience and craft on our Agents & Automations team, where Cloaked takes action on people's behalf to protect their identities.

This role is about making automation feel trustworthy. When software acts on someone's behalf, every screen, animation, and line of copy either builds confidence or erodes it. You'll own that experience end to end: layout, motion, micro-interactions, and the copy that ties them together. Your work will be judged by what you ship.

What you'll do?

• Own core automation experiences from design through shipped code, including layout, hierarchy, and visual quality

• Build the animations and micro-interactions that make scans and automated actions feel clear, alive, and considered

• Design how users understand, review, and control what Cloaked does on their behalf

• Build flows and experiences that educate users on how their protection is proceeding

• Partner with Agents & Automations engineers to turn complex system behavior into interfaces people trust

• Implement designs in production front-end code, and own the result the user actually sees

• Collaborate across the stack to wire interfaces to real data and real behavior

• Hold a high bar for aesthetic quality and the small details that separate good from great

• Write and refine interface copy so the words match the quality of the design

• Help shape the components and patterns other teams build on whiel designing durable workflows to ensure that AI generated code looks human-opinionated.

• Use modern AI coding tools fluently and run your own productivity harness, managing parallel agent streams and concurrent workstreams at high velocity

What skills and experiences will help you?

• 5+ years building and shipping product interfaces, with a portfolio of work you owned end to end: aesthetic quality, animations, micro-interactions, layout, and copy

• Strong front-end implementation skills (e.g., React) paired with a designer's eye for detail

• Demonstrated taste: the ability to make interfaces feel polished, fast, and intentional

• Experience designing for complex or automated product behavior, where clarity and user trust are critical

• Comfort operating autonomously in ambiguity and raising the bar for the people around you

• Daily fluency with AI-assisted development tools and a personal setup for working quickly across parallel tasks

• Exceptional written and verbal communication

What's nice to have?

• Live web apps or shipped products you can show and walk through

• Experience with AI or agentic products, privacy, identity, security, fintech, or consumer products at scale

• Experience with figma or other design software

• Startup background where you owned design and implementation end to end

What do we like?

• Craft that ships. You care about the last 5% of polish, and you get it into production rather than into a Figma file.

• Trust as a design problem. When software acts on someone's behalf, you sweat whether they understand what happened and feel in control of it.

• Taste with conviction. You have a point of view on layout, motion, and copy, and you can defend it without needing to win every round.

• Builder's instincts. You prototype to answer questions instead of debating them, and you're comfortable owning a surface end to end.

• AI-native by default. You use AI tools to move faster and explore more, and you're curious how design changes when the product itself is an agent.

What we offer

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. We have two floors of our building, with two state of the art kitchens packed with drinks, snacks and everything else you'd need to get through the day.
The Cloaked team has diverse interests and so we frequently embark on team outings and go out for socials!

Compensation and Benefits

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.
For full-time US employees, we offer a comprehensive benefits package: medical, dental and vision with Cloaked covering the majority of employee premiums, company-paid basic life, and a 401(k) with company match.
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).

Perks

Competitive PTO: PTO, floating holidays and sick days — and we push people to actually use them. We see time off as a preventative burnout measure, not a balance to hoard.

Parental Leave: Paid leave for all new parents — birth, adoption, or foster placement — because the people building privacy deserve time with their families.

Monthly wellness & meals 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 — plus lunch and coffee during the workday.

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!
