About The Position

Outtake is hiring its third product designer for a senior product design role. The designer will quickly ramp up to independently own design for a product area while embedded in a product team, and lead horizontal design initiatives. Outtake is a decentralized, high-ownership organization without a traditional product manager role. The designer will partner with product engineers and product deployment leads to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, decide what to build, and shape product direction. The role focuses on novel UX challenges involved in managing fleets of autonomous agents, deciding when to intervene, and investigating threats across connected data. The designer will own experiences end to end, from workflows and information architecture through interactions and visual details. They will turn open questions into user insights, design options, and prototypes; work closely with engineers to ship and improve products; build customer relationships and feedback channels; and use research and qualitative and quantitative evidence to guide decisions. They will also develop tools and practices that help teams work effectively, evolve the design system, and explore the use of AI in design workflows. As the design team grows, the role is expected to take on broader ownership of design culture and horizontal initiatives. Outtake builds an agentic AI platform to detect, monitor, and take down impersonators and address fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse. For team members in New York, the role is based in person five days a week at the company’s Brooklyn waterfront office, with flexibility as needed.
