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 foundational security hire. You will be our second security hire, taking on massive ownership and the ability to shape the function from the ground up, with a direct line to how security scales with the company as we grow.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years in infrastructure security, security operations, or platform engineering with strong security ownership
  • Hands-on Kubernetes security: RBAC, network policies, admission control, secrets handling
  • Experience architecting effective, precise D&R SIEM/SOAR systems
  • Comfort writing and shipping code in your language of choice
  • Real incident response experience as an IC, including communicating with non-security stakeholders under pressure
  • Pragmatism about the tradeoffs between security, velocity, and developer experience at an early-stage company
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.

This is a foundational security hire. You will be our second security hire, taking on massive ownership and the ability to shape the function from the ground up, with a direct line to how security scales with the company as we grow.

Engineering at Outtake is built on ownership, clarity, and end-to-end impact. We hire entrepreneurial engineers...
