Software Engineer, Frontend

The Role

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

What We’re Looking For

• 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
• Nice to have: experience with shadcn, trpc, react-hook-form, Vercel AI SDK
• Nice to have: experience building agentic UI/UX
• Nice to have: experience as a designer or in design engineering
• Nice to have: prior startup experience or a track record of thriving in high-ownership environments

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.
