Senior Software Engineer, AI

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. About the role We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer, AI to lead the development and strategic direction of Cloaked's AI Agents - autonomous agents that act on a user's behalf to monitor, manage, and enforce their privacy across their entire digital footprint. 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?
