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 the role We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to define how customers experience Outtake. At a high level, this person will build the FE Software Factory that enables the rest of the team (humans and agents) to ship beautiful, reliable, and consistent user experiences seamlessly. Our product turns a noisy, messy, fast-moving threat landscape into clarity: surfaced risks, evidence, workflows, decisions, and automated action. The frontend is where that complexity becomes legible. It is where customers understand what is happening, trust the system’s recommendations, and take action with confidence. This role is for someone who cares deeply about craft, speed, and product judgment. You should be excited to work close to the customer, translate ambiguous workflows into simple interfaces, and build software that feels fast, intelligent, and obvious. We are early, so this is not a narrow UI implementation role. You will shape product direction, design interaction patterns, make architectural decisions, and set the quality bar for the frontend as the company scales. ## What you’ll do - Build the agentic coding harness that allows non-frontend devs to ship polished, reliable, and consistent UI - Refine and maintain our design system and design language - Own the core componentry and abstractions that enforce consistency across our workflows, while accelerating other devs and coding agents building new workflows - Own our UI testing framework and ensure we’re shipping reliably - Maintain a high quality bar for FE code by providing thoughtful reviews and coaching backend-leaning devs - Build the agentic UI/UX (chat interfaces, generative UI, or similar) that define how our customers experience the effectiveness of our security agents - Flex as a Product Engineer and build end-to-end products alongside as necessary or desired ## Requirements - Proficiency with React and Typescript; familiarity with NextJS preferred - Excellent product taste and design sensibilities, ideally with experience building design systems - Experience building complex systems with coding agents, and the judgement to know when they are wrong - Comfort operating in ambiguity, making tradeoffs, and shipping without waiting for perfect specs - Comfort working closely with other engineers, non-technical teammates, and customers - Comfort working across the stack and building end-to-end product ## Nice to have - Experience building B2B SaaS products, ideally in cybersecurity or related fields - Experience with shadcn, trpc, react-hook-form, Vercel AI SDK - Experience building agentic UI/UX - Experience as a designer or design engineering - Comfort across the stack when needed - Prior startup experience or a track record of thriving in high-ownership environments ## Why Outtake If you're choosing between us and another AI startup: - We’re taking on the dark side of AI advancement - we protect people from threats that are amplified by rapid advances in AI - The problem space is evolving, and you won’t stop learning - scammers continuously adapt. The problems we’re solving are always changing and demand constant innovation - The impact is immediate and real - attacks stopped, fraud prevented, lives protected, and threats caught that humans alone would miss - The company is thriving - serious customers, real revenue, partnerships with frontier AI labs, and momentum that comes from shipping things people depend on - The people are exceptional - sharp thinkers, strong operators, and teammates you’ll want in your corner for the rest of your career - The upside is meaningful - we’re still early in our journey, and we're tackling a massive problem that's only getting bigger ## 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.
