Software Engineer, Frontend

Frontend Engineer 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. 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 Why Outtake: We're taking on the dark side of AI advancement - we protect people from threats that are amplified by rapid advances in AI The problem space is evolving, and you won't stop learning - scammers continuously adapt. The problems we're solving are always changing and demand constant innovation The impact is immediate and real - attacks stopped, fraud prevented, lives protected, and threats caught that humans alone would miss The company is thriving - serious customers, real revenue, partnerships with frontier AI labs, and momentum that comes from shipping things people depend on The people are exceptional - sharp thinkers, strong operators, and teammates you'll want in your corner for the rest of your career The upside is meaningful - we're still early in our journey, and we're tackling a massive problem that's only getting bigger 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. Outtake
