About the job
At Outtake, we are dedicated to empowering trust in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. With the rise of impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse, we have developed a groundbreaking solution: an agentic AI platform designed to proactively detect, monitor, and eliminate impersonators while automating protection in mere hours, not weeks.
Founded by a team of ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake's mission is ambitious: to become the trust layer of the modern internet. We aim to achieve this with a small, highly skilled team that values clarity, autonomy, and speed.
Your Role
We are looking for a Product Software Engineer who embodies the essence of product engineering.
Engage Directly with Customers.
We view customer engagement as a key competitive advantage. Our engineers communicate directly with customers, participate in calls, and engage in rapid feedback cycles. Direct, forward-deployed work is a vital component of this role, not merely support, but the quickest route to product insights.
Influence Product Development.
Here, engineers do not wait for complete specifications. If you identify a problem worth tackling, you are empowered to make your case, design experiments, and develop a v0 product. We value good product judgment as much as we do clean execution.
Contribute Across the Stack.
You will address challenges wherever they arise—whether it's backend systems handling terabytes of data, frontend workflows that simplify complex analyses, or agent frameworks that automate lengthy manual tasks. Here, titles are less important than ownership and initiative.
Maintain Clarity and Focus.
Our team aligns every Monday and reflects every Friday, allowing you to prioritize effectively while being attentive to signals from customers and market trends.
The Team
The team you build shapes the company you build. — Vinod Khosla
You will collaborate with engineers from leading companies like Palantir, Notion, Meta, Microsoft, Slack, and Datadog, with many team members having founded their own startups.
However, credentials are not the primary focus. Our team is passionate about craftsmanship, growth, and pursuing truth. We collaborate on challenging problems, support each other through code reviews, and provide thoughtful feedback in one-on-ones. Mentorship is intentional, allowing you to accelerate your learning in a high-expectation environment.
Our vision for Outtake is to establish a long-term network of builders—individuals who will go on to lead teams, launch companies, and innovate.
