Chances are you already make use of devices that contain Cloakware's technology.
Cloakware’s teams work with emerging products a year before they are on the market. Cloakware’s Research & Development team produces advanced tools and advanced prepackaged software used in consumer devices, enterprise IT and government applications.
Working in this environment exposes the team to a vast array of technology, allowing development of new skills and experiences. Examples of some of the technologies we work with are:
