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, 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
