About Outtake

Outtake is Next-Generation Digital Risk Protection. Agentic search across your full surface, workflows you control, intelligence that compounds with every takedown. Backed by CRV and ICONIQ.

About the role

This is a product engineering role in the strongest sense of the term. You will work close to customers, shape what gets built, and ship across the entire stack — backend, frontend, and the agent frameworks that sit between them. Titles matter less than ownership here. We believe customer proximity is a competitive advantage. You will talk directly to customers, join calls, and work inside tight feedback loops. Forward-deployed work is part of the job — not as support, but as the fastest path to product insight.

What they're looking for

  • A track record of shipping products that users actually used — including at least one that failed, with a clear understanding of why it mattered
  • The ability to ramp quickly, operate in ambiguity, and act with a strong bias to action
  • A deep interest in why something is being built, not just how it gets built
  • An understanding of what success looks like for both the customer and the business, not just the code
  • Experience in forward-deployed or customer-embedded engineering, and genuine energy from that kind of work
  • Bonus: experience founding something, even if it didn't work
More about this role

Outtake exists to empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world. Today, impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse spread faster than any security team can respond to. So we built something different: an agentic AI platform that proactively detects, monitors, and takes down impersonators, automating protection in hours, not weeks.

Built by ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake is designed for clarity, autonomy, and velocity. Our goal is ambitious: become the trust layer of the modern internet. And we intend to do it with a lean, dense, exceptionally talented team.

Outtake is backed by top-tier investors and operators who believe in our mission and our model. With strong financial footing and a long runway, we prioritize creating an environment where people can do the best work of their careers.
