Software Engineer - Security Engineering
About The Position
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 and automates 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.

- Experience architecting effective precise D&R SIEM/SOAR systems
- Comfort writing and shipping code in your language of choice
- Real incident response experience as an IC, including communicating with non-security stakeholders under pressure
- Pragmatism about the tradeoffs between security, velocity, and developer experience at an early-stage company
