About The Position

Outtake is hiring a senior product designer as its third product designer. The designer will quickly ramp up to independently own design for a product area, embedded in a product team, while also leading horizontal initiatives. Outtake is a decentralized, high-ownership organization without a traditional product manager role. The designer will work with product engineers and product deployment leads to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, decide what is worth building, and shape product direction.

The role focuses on novel UX challenges, including designing how users manage fleets of autonomous agents, decide when to intervene, and investigate threats across connected data. The designer will own the end-to-end experience, from workflows and information architecture to interactions and visual details. They will turn open questions into user insights, design options, and prototypes; simplify solutions and make deliberate tradeoffs; build customer partnerships and feedback channels; conduct research and evaluate shipped work; and develop tools and practices that help teams ship well-designed products. This includes evolving the design system and expanding the use of AI in design exploration, prototyping, and building. As the design team grows, the role is expected to take broader ownership of design culture and horizontal design initiatives.

Outtake builds an agentic AI platform that detects, monitors, and takes down impersonators to help protect digital trust. For employees in New York, the team works in person five days a week from a waterfront Brooklyn office, with flexibility as needed.

• Ability to make layered information clear and useful while solving unfamiliar UX problems.
• A product-minded, user-driven approach and enthusiasm for driving product strategy with Product Deployment and Product Engineering.
