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 hiring a Senior QA Engineer to own quality across Cloaked's web, mobile, and API products. You'll manually test new features, build and maintain automated test suites for existing features, collaborate with the QA team to develop new test strategy, and work independently across frameworks, CI/CD, and coverage gaps - hands-on every day, owning quality signal rather than just test execution. ### What will you do? Own quality across Cloaked's web, mobile, and API surfaces - coverage, strategy, and signal Work within a variety of feature teams to ensure output is being delivered at a high quality, without sacrificing team velocity. Design test plans for new features, including hands-on exploratory testing where that's the sharper tool Build and improve test automation frameworks and utilities alongside other QA Engineers and the QA Manager Integrate and maintain automated tests within CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery Analyze test results, identify flaky tests, and improve overall suite reliability - while staying truthful about what the results actually say Use AI-assisted workflows to move faster on test generation, coverage analysis, and maintenance, and help the team figure out what's worth automating that way Collaborate with developers and product managers to understand features and how best to test them Contribute to test plans and living QA/Product documentation Participate in code reviews for test automation code and provide constructive feedback Flag gaps in coverage and propose solutions to improve quality signal ### What skills and experiences will help you? 7+ years in QA or QA automation, with hands-on work building and maintaining manual and automated test suites Solid testing fundamentals: test design, test planning, defect management Experience testing across web, mobile and API Demonstrated use of AI to leverage your own workflow - generating and maintaining tests, writing docs, cutting down repetitive manual work. Cursor and Claude are examples of what that looks like here, not a checklist; we care how you work, not which product you've used Proficiency with Playwright, Selenium, and Appium Strong scripting/programming skills in languages commonly used in test automation (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java) Ability to write clean, well-structured, maintainable test code ### What's nice to have? Familiarity with Datadog, PostHog, Jira, and Google Workspace Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into them (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) Hands-on API testing experience (Postman or equivalent) Exposure to security, privacy, or identity products Familiarity with performance or load testing tools (k6, Locust, JMeter) Experience with visual regression testing Experience testing with device farms, local or remote via services like SauceLabs or LambdaTest Background working in a startup or high-growth environment Experience setting test strategy or mentoring other QA engineers ### What do we like? Self-starters who take ownership and proactively look for ways to improve things Strong communication skills, ability to manage expectations upwards and across teams as needed. Comfort with chaos - priorities shift, context is incomplete, and you move anyway to find the correct solution. A pragmatic bias toward shipping and iterating over perfecting in isolation A bias toward objective truth in your automation results, not just "running green" --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
