Join us.
Overheard exists so product teams stop guessing what to build. We're a small senior team, backed by Y Combinator. Every hire we make now is a founding decision.
Open roles
Founding AI Engineer
Overheard interviews a company's users by voice and hands the product team an answer, with every claim tied to what someone actually said. You'll own the core interviewer and research synthesis agents, and set technical direction for everything we build on them.
What you'll own
- The interviewer. Own our live voice interviewer agent and how good its conversations get. You'll make every interview feel more natural to the participant and more insightful for the team reading it.
- Evals. Own our eval system for research design, interview quality, and readout quality.
- The readout. The readout is what a product team acts on, so it's where Overheard earns its place in their decisions. Every answer traces to the people and quotes behind it. You'll hold that standard while making each readout sharper and more useful to the team deciding what to build.
- The voice stack. Own the realtime voice pipeline. Latency, interruptions, and how a call feels to the participant are yours.
How we work: We're a true AI-native startup. Each of us runs a fleet of agents, which lets a few people operate like a team ten times our size. We work in person in San Francisco because an idea can go live the same day.
Who you are: You've shipped LLM or agent systems that people relied on, and you built the evals that kept them honest. You can take a question like "was that a good interview?" and make it measurable. You want a surface you own outright, at a company where your calls reach users the same week.
Stack: TypeScript and Next.js on Vercel and Supabase, with realtime voice on several speech and language models. We're at the cutting edge of building with AI, and we use it to ship software that's reliable enough to run live interviews with real users.
Comp: founding equity plus a salary, and you choose the mix. We walk every serious candidate through the cap table.

Founding GTM Lead
You'll be our first hire outside engineering, and you'll build go-to-market from the ground up. Overheard takes a product team from a hard decision to an answer backed by their own users in days. You'll work closely with the CEO on every deal, and take the lead as we scale.
What you'll own
- Pipeline. Finding product teams that ship fast and still decide on gut, and getting their first study on the calendar.
- The founding customers. Everything from onboarding to the readout landing in the room where the decision gets made, and the second study they come back for.
- Channels and pricing. Learning where our buyers pay attention and what they'll pay, tested against real deals.
What the role looks like: Early on, sales and marketing happen in the same week. You'll run outbound and work deals alongside the CEO while you write the content that makes the next deal easier. The balance will shift as we grow, and you own both from day one.
Who you are: You've built pipeline yourself, through outbound or through writing people passed around. Early GTM at a product-led devtools or AI company helps, but what you built matters more than where.
Comp: founding equity plus a salary, and you choose the mix. We walk every serious candidate through the cap table.
The best GTM people take months to find, so we're starting now. If this sounds like you, get in touch.
