# Software Engineer \(Security\) - Company: [Outtake]() - Location: New York City - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $160K – $265K - Posted: June 1, 2026 ## Job description # **About Outtake** 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 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 * You'll be our second security hire, which means massive ownership, the ability to shape the function from the ground up, and a direct line to how security scales with the company * 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 between security, velocity, and developer experience at an early-stage company ### Nice to have * Background defending or attacking AI/ML systems and agent infrastructure * Endpoint security operations (EDR/MDR) * You've been the security person at a small company before and know how the function evolves # Life at Outtake * **Office:** For those in NY, we are an in-person team (5 days a week, with flexibility as needed) working out of a stunning waterfront office in Brooklyn. Collaboration, speed, and clarity matter. * **Health:** 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision for employees. * **Time Away:** Flexible PTO. We trust adults to manage energy, not clock time. * **Culture & Team:** Annual company retreats and regular in-person events. Outtake is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. ## Apply [Apply on Outtake]() Canonical job page:
