As the software engineering owner for the OV20i and the primary technical link between the North America region and the core engineering team, you will help drive the long-term stability and customer-facing evolution of a product widely deployed in the US. You’ll play a crucial role in addressing customer requests, supporting the field team, and ensuring the device’s continued success in a region with a large and growing customer base.

Overview is a 40+person global startup. Our largest concentration of customers is in East Asia and the United States, and our software engineering team is primarily based in Taiwan (English is the working language). You will report to the software team lead in Taipei and may travel to Asia 2–3 times per year. The role is fully remote with up to 20% travel to customer sites in the Midwest and Southeast .

This position is a senior “glue engineer” role —someone who blends embedded Linux depth with strong software engineering skills, field pragmatism, and cross-cultural collaboration. It is a mission-critical hire for OV20i’s stability and for Overview’s expansion in North America.

If you enjoy building real software for real hardware , solving complex debugging challenges, and owning features end-to-end, we would love to speak with you.
