Product Engineer

About the role

Product Engineer

San Francisco · In-Person · Full-Time

Overlap builds AI agents that turn long-form video into high-performing short-form content for many of the world’s largest media companies.

Our software identifies the best moments in video, edits and styles them, and distributes them across social platforms — automating work that traditionally requires teams of editors and social media managers.

We work with some of the largest media companies in the world and thousands of creators. We’re a small, fast-moving team, and we’re looking for an exceptional Product Engineer to help build the next generation of Overlap.

The Role

You’ll work directly with the founders and have significant ownership over what we build and how we build it.

This is not a narrowly scoped frontend or backend role. You’ll work across the product and engineering stack, taking features from idea → production and working closely with the customers using them.

You’ll:

- Build and ship core product features across our Next.js frontend and Python backend

- Turn customer problems into products

- Build AI-native product experiences and agentic workflows

- Own projects end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, and iteration

- Improve the performance and reliability of our infrastructure

- Work across our Google Cloud stack

- Contribute to product and interface design

- Move quickly, talk to users, and ship constantly

You’ll have an unusual amount of autonomy and responsibility from day one.

Who We're Looking For

We care much more about how good you are at building than how many years you’ve been doing it.

You’re likely a strong fit if you:

- Have built and deployed real web products

- Are an excellent programmer and problem solver

- Proficient in using frontier coding agents

- Move quickly without sacrificing quality

- Are comfortable owning ambiguous problems with little hand-holding

- Have strong product instincts and care about the details users notice

- Thrive in a high-intensity startup environment

Especially Valuable

- Experience building products 0→1

- Exceptional proficiency with AI coding tools and agentic development workflows

- Experience with Next.js, React, Python, or FastAPI

- Experience with GCP, Firebase, Kubernetes, or cloud infrastructure

- Experience building with LLMs, multimodal AI, video, or machine learning systems

- Strong design instincts or experience with Figma

- Previous startup or high-ownership engineering experience

You do not need to check every box. If you’re an unusually strong builder, we want to hear from you.
