Full Job Description
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 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: 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.
