Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Location: Remote
Experience: 3+ years

About Us

Built by ex-nation-state operators and AI researchers, CrackenAGI is building the world’s first Uncensored Vibe Hacking platform that safely amplifies security teams and gives enterprises proven, auditable security resilience.

The Role

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with a strong cybersecurity background who thinks like an engineer and tests like an adversary. You will work directly with security engineers and researchers to design testing strategies, build test infrastructure, and ensure the quality, security, and resilience of complex AI-driven cybersecurity systems.

What You’ll Do

• Own quality for core cybersecurity features and systems

• Work side-by-side with security and platform engineers throughout the development lifecycle

• Design test strategies for security-critical and adversarial scenarios

• Build and maintain automated test frameworks and tooling (primarily Python)

• Perform white-box testing and participate in design and code reviews

• Test system-level properties: performance, reliability, scalability, failure modes

• Debug complex issues, perform root cause analysis, and improve test coverage

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and quality gates for security-sensitive releases
  

Must-Have

Cybersecurity background, such as:

• Pentesting, threat detection, security research, reverse engineering, blue/red team experience

• Hands-on experience with software testing or test automation

• Strong programming skills (Python required; ability to read system-level code is a plus)

• Experience designing automated tests and writing actionable bug reports

• Attacker mindset — you enjoy breaking systems to make them resilient

• Ability to independently define test strategies and take ownership

• Comfortable working in a distributed, high-autonomy team
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with system-level software, OS internals, or networking

• Exposure to distributed or cloud-native systems

• CI/CD and test automation at scale

• Performance testing, profiling, or reliability engineering

• Prior work on security-critical, always-on systems
