About the role

  • This is a product engineering role in the strongest sense of the term.
  • We believe customer proximity is a competitive advantage.
  • Engineers talk directly to customers, join calls, and participate in tight feedback loops.

Responsibilities

  • You shape what we build.
  • If you see a problem worth solving, you're expected to make the case, design the experiment, and build the v0.
  • We trust adults to manage energy, not clock time.
  • We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive team.

Nice to have

  • Worked in forward-deployed or customer-embedded roles
  • Built with agents, LLMs, or large-scale data systems

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.
  • Equity reflects impact, not title.

Company info

  • The people are exceptional - not just in pedigree, but in how they think and build.
  • "The team you build is the company you build." - Vinod Khosla
  • You'll work alongside engineers from Palantir, Notion, Meta, Microsoft, Slack, and Datadog.
  • Several have founded startups.
  • But credentials aren't the point.
  • This team cares deeply about craft, slope, and truth-seeking.
  • People pair on hard problems, challenge each other in code review, and give direct, thoughtful feedback in 1:1s.
  • Mentorship is intentional, not accidental - you'll learn faster here because the bar is high and the coaching is real.
  • We're building Outtake to be a long-term network of builders: people who go on to lead teams, start companies, and back each other over decades.
  • The goal is simple - working here should make you meaningfully better.
  • This role tends to excite people who've built something from scratch and want to do it again - with better tools, sharper teammates, and real distribution.
  • You might be a fit if:
  • You've shipped products that users actually used - and at least one that failed, and you understand why that mattered
  • You ramp quickly, thrive in ambiguity, and have a strong bias to action
