Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • This is a staff-level infrastructure generalist role.
  • The role begins as an individual contributor position; experience growing and leading infrastructure teams will be valuable as the function scales.
  • Outtake needs to search, process, and investigate billions of pieces of content quickly.

Responsibilities

  • Redesign our search and retrieval systems to support fast investigation across billions of pieces of content
  • Design and build scalable asynchronous systems for scheduling, queues, workflows, retries, backpressure, rate limiting, and failure recovery
  • Build data infrastructure for high-volume ingestion, streaming, batch processing, enrichment, and reprocessing
  • Develop shared infrastructure services, APIs, libraries, and primitives that product engineers can use without needing to understand the underlying implementation
  • Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions and make tradeoffs across latency, throughput, consistency, durability, cost, and complexity
  • Operate the systems you build, use production evidence to improve their architecture, and automate recurring operational work
  • You will set the technical direction of Outtake's infrastructure and build the systems that support our next orders of magnitude of growth.
  • We trust adults to manage energy, not clock time.
  • We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive team.
  • A track record of designing and building distributed infrastructure systems used by other engineers or products

Requirements

  • Experience scaling production systems through significant increases in data volume, traffic, or workload complexity
  • Deep knowledge of relational database architecture, including data modeling, access patterns, indexing, partitioning, sharding, caching, and migration
  • Experience building or evolving high-throughput asynchronous systems, with a strong understanding of scheduling, ordering, retries, idempotency, backpressure, and partial failure
  • Experience with large-scale search and retrieval systems, including the tradeoffs among lexical search, vector retrieval, indexing speed, freshness, relevance, and cost
  • Work across the underlying cloud infrastructure when changes to compute, storage, networking, or deployment architecture are required to scale our data systems
  • You will design and build production infrastructure systems, expose them through clear internal interfaces and abstractions, and lead the migrations required to adopt them.
  • Own the application and infrastructure changes required to migrate live systems safely, including changes to service topology and deployment strategy
  • Own the cloud foundations required by these systems, including compute, storage, networking, isolation, resource management, and deployment architecture

Compensation

  • Culture & Team: Annual company retreats and regular in-person events.

Benefits

  • Health: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision for employees.
  • Time Away: Flexible PTO.

Company info

  • 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.
  • Annual company retreats and regular in-person events.
  • Outtake is an equal opportunity employer.
  • 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.
