About Outtake
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.
About You
Engineering at Outtake is built on ownership, clarity, and end-to-end impact. We hire entrepreneurial engineers who think in systems, not tickets.
Our teams are flat and autonomous: engineers ship fast, make product decisions, and own outcomes from concept to deployment. We optimize for grit + velocity, which means every engineer operates with the scope, influence, and equity of a future CTO.
What you'll do
You'll be our second security hire, which means massive ownership, the ability to shape the function from the ground up, and a direct line to how security scales with the company
Own the security posture of our cloud infrastructure: AWS, EKS, Vercel, Supabase
Build our detection and response capabilities for capable incident response
Design and operate our secrets, credential, and access management architecture across our services
Partner with engineering on secure-by-default patterns: IAM, network segmentation, privilege, and access control.
Help shape our agentic AI security posture as the platform evolves
What we'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
Nice to have
Background defending or attacking AI/ML systems and agent infrastructure
Endpoint security operations (EDR/MDR)
You've been the security person at a small company before and know how the function evolves
Life at Outtake
Office: For those in NY, we are an in-person team (5 days a week, with flexibility as needed) working out of a stunning waterfront office in Brooklyn. Collaboration, speed, and clarity matter.
Health: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision for employees.
Time Away: Flexible PTO. We trust adults to manage energy, not clock time.
Culture & Team: Annual company retreats and regular in-person events.
Outtake is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive team.
