Product Designer

The Role

This is a senior product design role. You will join as Outtake's third product designer, ramping quickly to independently own design for a product area, embedded in a product team, while also leading horizontal initiatives.

Outtake is a decentralized, high-ownership org without a traditional PM role. You will work with product engineers and product deployment leads to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, and decide what's worth building - shaping product direction, not just executing against it.

This is a role for solving novel UX challenges. You will design how users manage fleets of autonomous agents, decide when to intervene, and investigate threats across layers of connected data - owning the experience end-to-end, from workflows and information architecture to the interactions and visual details that make it clear and usable.

What You’ll Do

• Work with product engineers and product deployment leads to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, and decide what's worth building.
• Design how users manage fleets of autonomous agents, decide when to intervene, and investigate threats across layers of connected data.
• Own the experience from workflows and information architecture to the interactions and visual details that make it clear and usable.
• Turn open questions into well-backed user insights and concrete design options and prototypes that align your team.
• Find simpler ways to solve problems, make deliberate tradeoffs, and work closely with engineers to ship and improve the product.
• Build direct relationships with customers, driving design partnerships and establishing regular channels for feedback.
• Run research, test ideas, and gather the qualitative and quantitative evidence needed to make decisions and assess what you ship.
• Create tools and practices that help designers, engineers, and product managers move faster and consistently ship well-designed products, including evolving our design system and expanding the use of AI in how we explore, prototype, and build.
• As the design team grows, we expect this role to take on broader ownership over design culture and horizontal design initiatives at Outtake.

What We're Looking for

• 5+ years of product design experience, ideally at early-stage or high-growth companies where you've had to own outcomes end-to-end.
• Comfort designing technically complex products, with the ability to get deep into a domain, solve unfamiliar UX problems, and make layered information clear and useful.
• A deeply product-minded, user-driven (not user-led) approach, with genuine excitement to drive product strategy alongside Product Deployment and Product Engineering.
• Resourcefulness and speed, with the judgment to know when to decide carefully and when to ship and iterate.
• Low ego, with the ability to give and receive feedback openly without getting precious about your work.
• Comfort working collaboratively while also navigating ambiguity and owning your work fully without hand-holding.
• Excellent craft across interaction, visual, and motion design.
• Nice to have: experience designing for AI, automation, or agent-based systems.
• Nice to have: experience as an early design hire who helped shape design culture from the ground up.
• Nice to have: active use of AI tools in your design workflow, with ongoing experimentation in how to leverage them.
• Nice to have: experience creating and maintaining a design system.
• Nice to have: a background in cybersecurity, trust & safety, or risk-related products.
