The role involves delivering compelling demos, architecting proof-of-concept deployments, and serving as the technical authority to bridge security challenges with the company's AI-powered platform. ## Job description ## 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 Outtake is looking for a technical product champion who bridges the gap between our customers' security challenges and our AI-powered platform to join our team as a Sales Engineer. We're seeking someone who thrives at the intersection of sales and engineering, with the technical fluency to navigate complex cybersecurity environments and the communication skills to command the room with CISOs and security leaders. This person will be instrumental in supporting our most complex enterprise deals — leading technical discovery, delivering compelling demos, and designing solutions that map Outtake's platform to real-world threat landscapes. The right candidate has an insatiable curiosity about cybersecurity, genuinely enjoys solving hard problems alongside customers, and gets energized by helping close deals. ## What You'll Need to Bring - 2–6 years of experience in solutions engineering, sales engineering, or technical pre-sales, ideally in cybersecurity or adjacent infrastructure/SaaS - Strong understanding of modern attack surfaces, threat detection, and security operations workflows - Technical fluency with APIs, data models, and system architecture — you can speak credibly to both engineering teams and security practitioners - Exceptional communication and presentation skills across technical and executive audiences - Natural curiosity and genuine passion for cybersecurity and continuous learning - Highly adaptable with the ability to context-switch between customer conversations, live demos, and technical deep-dives ## What You'll Achieve - Partner with Sales to lead technical discovery and solution design for complex, high-value enterprise deals - Deliver compelling demos tailored to each prospect's security environment and threat landscape - Architect proof-of-concept deployments that showcase Outtake's agentic AI capabilities - Serve as the technical authority in sales cycles, fielding deep questions on threat classification, automated response, and platform architecture - Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate field insights into roadmap priorities What Success Looks Like - Become the trusted technical advisor that prospects rely on throughout the sales process - Consistently contribute to deal velocity and win rates through strong technical positioning - Build repeatable demo workflows and technical collateral that scale the sales motion - Surface patterns in prospect needs and competitive intelligence that shape product strategy - Seamlessly hand off closed deals to post-sale teams with thorough implementation context Bonus Points - Background in cybersecurity — whether in security operations, threat intelligence, or selling to security buyers - Familiarity with modern AI/ML concepts, particularly as applied to threat detection and response - SQL or similar analytical/technical skills - Experience at a fast-paced startup ## 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. ## About Outtake ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Outtake provides an autonomous AI agent platform that detects, investigates, and dismantles digital threats like impersonation, fraud, and AI-driven scams for enterprises. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Brooklyn, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Alex Dhillon ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Cybersecurity (Digital Risk Protection, Brand Protection, Threat Intelligence) - Target customers: B2B, Enterprise — including major AI labs (e.g., OpenAI), high-growth tech companies (e.g., AppLovin, CashApp), investment firms (e.g., Pershing Square), federal agencies, and luxury retail brands - Mission or purpose statement: “To empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world” — building a “trust layer for the modern internet” ## Products & Services - **Digital Trust Platform**: SaaS platform using autonomous AI agents that see, hear, understand, and dismantle digital risk across every surface (web, social, dark web, app stores). - **Brand Protection**: Detects and removes fake domains, cloned apps, malicious ads, unauthorized resale, trial abuse, and token fraud. - **Executive Protection**: Identifies threats to executives including deepfakes, doxxing, extortion, venue targeting, and route exposure. - **Location Protection**: Monitors for coordinated protests, location targeting, and physical threats. - **Global Signal Network**: A proprietary Reservoir™ of signals that compound over time, making the platform smarter with every threat dismantled. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Total Funding**: $56.5M (Series B led by ICONIQ, as of January 2026) - **Key Metrics**: - ARR increased approximately **6x year-over-year** - Systems scanned **20 million potential cyberattacks** in the prior year - Enterprise customers grew **more than 10x year-over-year** - Average takedown time of **14.4 hours** from detection to takedown - **99.4%** takedown confirmation rate - **100%** network eradication rate - Monitors **100+ platforms**, marketplaces, and dark web sources - Social takedowns completed in under 24 hours - **Notable Investors/Partners**: ICONIQ (lead, Series B), CRV (seed & Series A), Section 32 (S32), angel investors including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora, Anduril co-founder Trae Stephens, Bill Ackman, Guillermo Rauch, and Bob McGrew. ## Competitive Advantages - **Agentic AI vs. Legacy Tools**: Replaces slow, queue-based analyst workflows with autonomous agents that operate in parallel (millions of agents, zero queues, zero tickets). - **Compound Learning Platform**: The Global Signal Network gets sharper with every threat dismantled — meaning the platform becomes more effective for all customers over time. - **Speed**: 14 hours from detection to takedown (legacy tools can take 14 days or more). - **Named a Challenger** by analysts, alongside companies like Check Point, Doppel, and Recorded Future. - **Top-Tier Customer Base**: Works with the world’s most targeted organizations (OpenAI, AppLovin, Pershing Square), which validates the product against the most sophisticated threats. ## Strategic Focus - **Growth**: Scaling go-to-market teams, particularly in engineering and product, to meet explosive demand (ARR up 6x YoY). - **Product Expansion**: Deepening the autonomous agent platform to cover more attack surfaces and industries, with a goal of becoming the “trust layer” for the entire internet. - **Use of Funds**: The $40M Series B is earmarked for growing go-to-market, engineering, and product teams, as well as expanding the agent platform’s capabilities. ## Why Work Here - **High-Growth Trajectory**: 40 employees with 335.3% yearly headcount growth; 13 active job openings across engineering, sales, marketing, and legal. - **Cutting-Edge Mission**: Work on the forefront of AI-driven cybersecurity, building autonomous agents that fight the most advanced digital threats. - **Culture of Ownership and Speed**: The company prides itself on “zero queues, zero tickets” and constant next-step pursuit by agents — a philosophy that likely extends to the engineering culture. - **Team Quality**: Notable talent sources include Palantir, Meta, Oso, and Google.
