Full Job Description
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. ABOUT YOU Engineering at Outtake is built on ownership, clarity, and end-to-end impact. We hire entrepreneurial engineers who think in systems, not tickets. Our teams are flat and autonomous: engineers ship fast, make product decisions, and own outcomes from concept to deployment. We optimize for grit + velocity, which means every engineer operates with the scope, influence, and equity of a future CTO. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the security posture of our cloud infrastructure: AWS, EKS, Vercel, Supabase - Build our detection and response capabilities for capable incident response - Design and operate our secrets, credential, and access management architecture across our services - Partner with engineering on secure-by-default patterns: IAM, network segmentation, privilege, and access control. - Help shape our agentic AI security posture as the platform evolves WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3+ years in infrastructure security, security operations, or platform engineering with strong security ownership - Hands-on Kubernetes security: RBAC, network policies, admission control, secrets handling - 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 bet
