About the job
At Outtake, we are on a mission to empower trust in a digital-first world. With the rapid spread of impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse, we have developed a pioneering AI platform that proactively identifies, monitors, and dismantles impersonators, automating protection in mere hours rather than weeks.
Our team, composed of former engineers from Palantir, Notion, and more, is committed to clarity, autonomy, and speed. Our ambitious goal is to establish ourselves as the trust layer of the modern internet, and we are building a lean, exceptionally talented team to achieve this.
Your Role
In this platform engineering position, you will:
- Shape Engineering Practices: Own the foundational systems that product engineers depend upon, designing and maintaining tools that enhance developer workflows and engineering velocity.
- Optimize for Influence: Focus on initiatives that amplify impact across the engineering organization, transforming repetitive solutions into robust platforms that enable swift, effective engineering practices.
- Build Resilient Foundations: Develop a strategic vision for engineering operations and translate that vision into practical code and systems while navigating dynamic environments.
The Team
Our team embodies the belief that "The team you build is the company you build." — Vinod Khosla. Outtake’s team includes talented individuals from Palantir, Notion, Meta, Slack, and Datadog, all of whom have successfully shipped significant systems and learned from their experiences.
We prioritize craftsmanship, collaboration, and accountability. Our work culture is demanding yet supportive, where team members pair on complex challenges, provide constructive feedback, and take ownership of projects from inception to outcome. Mentorship is intentional, fostering growth and development within the team. Driven individuals thrive here, not because they must, but because they are passionate about their work.
