Software Engineer; Infra

About Us

Overjoy is building Sales AI for B2B commerce. Our mission is to enable 10x sales teams by bringing modern software and AI to a long-underserved industry: B2B sales for consumer brands.

Over 500 modern brands like Tipsy Elves, P.F. Candle Co., and David Protein use Overjoy to find new prospects, run email marketing, manage accounts, and scale wholesale revenue — without the bloat of legacy platforms.

We’re backed by Bessemer, OSV, Floodgate and founders of Thumbtack, Alloy, and Unsupervised — and 6 of our own customers invested after using the product.

We’re hiring a Software Engineer (Infrastructure) to own the systems, data pipelines, and infrastructure foundations that power Overjoy at scale.

This is a high-leverage, foundational role focused on reliability, scalability, and data integrity. You’ll work closely with the founders and engineering team to design and operate data ingestion pipelines, background processing systems, and database infrastructure that everything else depends on.

We grew 6x in 2025 and are aiming to do it again in 2026. As Overjoy scales usage across campaigns, automations, CRM, and integrations, this role ensures the platform remains fast, correct, and operable under growing load and complexity.

• Own core data ingestion pipelines for search and CRM
• Build scalable event processing and background job systems
• Manage webhook ingestion at high throughput and bursty traffic
• Establish observability, benchmarks, and monitoring for critical data paths
• Stabilize database foundations and developer workflows
• Design idempotency, replay, and backfill for failures and outages
• Proactively identify and mitigate scalability risks for new launches
• Improve backend developer experience through infrastructure and tooling

• Have experience building and owning backend or infrastructure systems in production
• Have designed or operated data ingestion or event-driven systems
• Think in failure modes, retries, and data correctness, not just happy paths
• Can debug production issues methodically with limited context
• Have worked in small or fast-growing teams with real ownership and ambiguity
• Can balance shipping speed and building with best practices

• Early-stage startup experience
• Experience designing event-driven systems and scaling ingestion pipelines (pub/sub, webhooks, external APIs)
• Strong Postgres experience, including performance tuning and connection management
• Experience with Elasticsearch
• Background job systems and concurrency tuning

Build for a real problem in a wildly underserved market

Brand founders with multiple exits tell us, “I wish I had Overjoy when I launched my first brand.” We’re bringing modern software to a part of commerce that’s been overlooked for too long.

AI that actually gets used daily

This isn’t hype. Our customers use AI daily — to find leads, write emails, qualify prospects, and drive sales — often without even realizing it’s AI.

You're joining the ground floor

You’ll shape our architecture, product, and engineering culture from day one and define what Overjoy looks like for years to come.

Our customers love us

More than 5 of our customers have started agencies as a side business helping others how to use Overjoy. One joined our team full-time!

We’re growing fast

We’ve 5x’d our revenue in 2025, and we’re looking to do it again in 2026. We're scaling quickly — and so will your impact.

This isn’t a 9-to-5 job

We’re doing hard things with a small team, and it’s intense. We won’t sugarcoat that.

You’ll take full ownership and responsibility

You won’t just execute. You’ll identify problems, shape solutions, and be accountable for what you build. That level of autonomy can be exciting, but also stressful — and it’s not for everyone.

…You’ll wear a lot of hats

You’ll be expected to step outside of your lane — helping with support, onboarding, and product QA — often with little guidance. If you prefer clearly defined roles and boundaries, this might not be the right environment.

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
• Health, dental, and vision insurance (U.S.)
• Free lunch & dinner around the office
• Generous budget for laptops, monitors, and other equipment
