Product Designer

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. 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. The Role This is a senior product design role. You will join as Outtake's third product designer, ramping quickly to independently own design for a product area, embedded in a product team, while also leading horizontal initiatives. Outtake is a decentralized, high-ownership org without a traditional PM role. You will work with product engineers and product deployment leads to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, and decide what's worth building — shaping product direction, not just executing against it. This is a role for solving novel UX challenges. You will design how users manage fleets of autonomous agents, decide when to intervene, and investigate threats across layers of connected data — owning the experience end-to-end, from workflows and information architecture to the interactions and visual details that make it clear and usable. What You'll Do Work with product engineers and product deployment leads to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, and decide what's worth building. Design how users manage fleets of autonomous agents, decide when to intervene, and investigate threats across layers of connected data. Own the experience from workflows and information architecture to the interactions and visual details that make it clear and usable. Turn open questions into well-backed user insights and concrete design options and prototypes that align your team. Find simpler ways to solve problems, make deliberate tradeoffs, and work closely with engineers to ship and improve the product. Build direct relationships with customers, driving design partnerships and establishing regular channels for feedback. Run research, test ideas, and gather the qualitative and quantitative evidence needed to make decisions and assess what you ship. Create tools and practices that help designers, engineers, and product managers move faster and consistently ship well-designed products, including evolving our design system and expanding the use of AI in how we explore, prototype, and build. As the design team grows, we expect this role to take on broader ownership over design culture and horizontal design initiatives at Outtake. What We're Looking For 5+ years of product design experience, ideally at early-stage or high-growth companies where you've had to own outcomes end-to-end. Comfort designing technically complex products, with the ability to get deep into a domain, solve unfamiliar UX problems, and make layered information clear and useful. A deeply product-minded, user-driven (not user-led) approach, with genuine excitement to drive product strategy alongside Product Deployment and Product Engineering. Resourcefulness and speed, with the judgment to know when to decide carefully and when to ship and iterate. Low ego, with the ability to give and receive feedback openly without getting precious about your work. Comfort working collaboratively while also navigating ambiguity and owning your work fully without hand-holding. Excellent craft across interaction, visual, and motion design. Nice to have: experience designing for AI, automation, or agent-based systems. Nice to have: experience as an early design hire who helped shape design culture from the ground up. Nice to have: active use of AI tools in your design workflow, with ongoing experimentation in how to leverage them. Nice to have: experience creating and maintaining a design system. Nice to have: a background in cybersecurity, trust & safety, or risk-related products. 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
