About Outtake AI

80% of internet traffic is now image or video content. We build the models, infrastructure, and workflows to make sense of this tidal wave of information. We tackle the hardest problems of online identity, web-scale rich media data, and multimodal AI in production. Our customers are Hollywood stars, Youtube celebrities, K-Pop bands, US politicians, and some of the most influential brands globally

We are a team of senior engineers with past lives leading deeply technical teams at Palantir, Google, Uber, and YC-backed startups. We are high agency, high transparency, & invested in solving problems problems that matter (i.e, worry about securing national elections not optimizing button colors). We hire the best & compensate them accordingly because we know that small teams of elite individuals outperform any other configuration.


Job Description

What We're Looking For

When the life-support systems on your Mars habitat begin to fail, are you the engineer the team trusts to hack together a solution in hours?

No worries, neither are we - but we DO want you to be the type of engineer who is unafraid to dive into any part of the codebase to accomplish the mission.

Often getting the job done involves building functional v0s that eventually evolve into scalable production systems. Can you navigate this journey effectively?

Do you have well reasoned opinions that rapidly update to new information - whether from customers, peers, or the environment?

What You'll Achieve

  • Building a scalable ML pipelines running models on content from the whole web, working on infra and model performance alike
  • Partner with customers who are some of the most socially meaningful individuals on the planet - these brands, reputations, and names move millions daily
  • Work with an elite team with high success track record at prior companies & become a better version of yourself in the process
  • Learn the ability to carry zen into any situation of chaos as you continuously overcome obstacles and fully grow into your abilities
  • Touch the whole platform - whether it's in the BE where you tinker with ML infra that scales across the web or the FE where you make our incredibly powerful workflows simple & intuitive
  • Become a leader as Outtake grows and define the culture of a high impact organization

What You'll Need to Bring

  • Proven track record of execution: 2+ years experience as software engineer building world class products
  • Thoughtful problem solver: You approach problems holistically, starting with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You think critically about the implications of your decisions, and are able to consider both the business and the technical tradeoffs of your solutions
  • Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological, can learn new technologies and are receptive to new ideas
  • Organized and self-sufficient: You are comfortable managing yourself, navigate ambiguity and finding ways to create impact
  • Owner of your mission: You are a owner of the products that you create, meaning you take pride in the quality, maintenance and understandability of the products you build and the code you write
