Why Overlap
Work on hard, interesting problems
You’ll work across AI agents, multimodal models, video processing, distributed systems, infrastructure, and product design.
Ship to real customers
We have real customers operating at meaningful scale. Engineers here aren't building speculative demos — what you build can go into production quickly and be used immediately. Customers include iHeart Media, Barstool Sports, Yahoo, Stripe, Forbes, Pubity, Almost Friday, and many more.
Have outsized ownership
We’re still small enough that one great engineer can materially change the trajectory of the product and company. There are very few layers between having an idea and shipping it.
Work directly with the founders
You’ll be close to product decisions, customer conversations, and company strategy rather than receiving tickets several layers removed from the problem.
Grow with the company
Overlap is YC-backed and growing quickly. Early team members can earn meaningful equity, take on rapidly expanding responsibility, and help define the engineering culture as we scale.
