Services The overlap Team Process Engagement
Design & engineering studio

Complex engineering,
premium design — on your clock.

Overlap builds multi-tenant SaaS platforms, production APIs, and AI features for US companies. Our engineers work from Pakistan on a shifted schedule, so the hours you're online are the hours we're online.

Senior engineers, not a ticket queue. You work directly with the people writing the code — in real time, during your business day.

About Overlap

Offshore cost.
Onshore working hours.

Hiring senior engineering talent in the US is expensive. Hiring offshore usually means sending a question at 4 PM and getting an answer the next morning — every single time. Most teams end up choosing which problem they'd rather have.

Overlap removes the trade. Our team is based in Lahore, Pakistan, which keeps your build economics sane — and we run a shifted schedule that lands squarely inside the US business day, so standups, reviews, and blockers get handled live instead of in a 12-hour relay.

Built by senior engineers

Led by developers with 16+ years shipping production systems — not a layer of account managers between you and the build.

Real-time collaboration

Six hours of daily overlap with US business hours. Same standup, same Slack thread, same day.

Design and engineering, together

Interface design and the system behind it are handled by one team, so nothing gets lost in handoff.

What we build

The work that usually
needs a senior team.

Not brochure sites and template installs. Overlap takes on systems with real architectural weight — custom logic, live data, and integrations that have to hold up in production.

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms

Tenant isolation, role-based access control, subscription billing, and admin tooling — architected so adding your hundredth customer doesn't mean rewriting the foundation.

APIs & systems integration

RESTful APIs that sync cleanly with the architecture you already run — POS systems, ERPs, payment processors, and legacy internal services that were never built to talk to anything.

AI features, in production

Real-time AI built into the product rather than bolted beside it — streaming responses, retrieval over your own data, and background pipelines on Next.js and PostgreSQL.

Product & UI/UX design

Interface design, design systems, and full product flows — drawn by designers who sit with the engineers building them, so what ships matches what was designed.

Why we're called Overlap

Your 9-to-5 is
our 9-to-5.

Offshore engineering usually costs you a day per question. We shifted our schedule instead — our team is on shift while your team is at their desks.

Who you actually work with

Engineer-led, all
the way down.

There's no figurehead here who takes the call and then disappears. The people who scope your build are the people who write it.

Team photo 1

A lead architect on every build

Engagements are scoped and owned by a senior engineer with 16+ years of production experience — the person accountable for the architecture, in your calls from day one.

Team photo 2

A US point of contact

A US-based representative on a local number handles first contact and scheduling, so getting a technical conversation booked never depends on catching someone overseas.

Specialists matched to the work

Backend, frontend, infrastructure, and design specialists join the pod as the build calls for them — and step back out when it doesn't.

How we start

From first call to
first commit, in a week.

01

Technical discovery

A working session with a lead architect — your stack, your constraints, and what's actually hard about the problem. No sales deck.

02

Architecture & scope

We come back with a proposed architecture, the pod required to build it, and a scope you can hold us to.

03

Plug into your hours

Your standups, your board, your repo. The pod shifts onto your time zone and works inside your existing cadence.

04

Ship, then scale

Add engineers for a push, or scale back between releases — month to month, no long-term lock-in.

Engagement models

Three ways to
put us to work.

Start with a fixed build or embed a standing pod. Every model runs on your business hours from day one.

Project-Based Build

A defined system, a fixed scope, and a delivery date — best when you know what needs to exist.

Fixed per scope
  • Architecture & scope document
  • Design and build in one team
  • Weekly demos in your hours
  • Handover docs & deploy support
Scope a build
Most common

Dedicated Engineering Pod

A standing cross-functional pod — engineers, design, and a lead architect — running your roadmap.

Monthly retainer
  • Lead architect owns the build
  • 2–5 engineers & designers
  • Daily standups in your time zone
  • Direct Slack & repo access
  • Scale up or down monthly

Team Augmentation

Senior engineers embedded directly into your existing team, reporting into your leads.

Per seat /month
  • Vetted senior engineers
  • Your process, your tooling
  • Shifted to your business hours
  • Replace or add seats monthly
Talk to us
Get in touch

A technical call,
not a sales call.

Thirty minutes with someone who can actually answer architecture questions — what you're building, what's hard about it, and how we'd approach it.

You talk to an engineer
No pitch deck, no pressure
What happens next
1

You tell us what you're building

A short note on the system and the stack — no forms in triplicate.

2

A lead architect reviews it

The person who'd own the build reads it before the call, not after.

3

You get an approach, not a pitch

Leave with a technical direction, whether or not you engage further.

Get in touch

Tell us what
you're building.

Share your email and a line about the system — a platform, an integration, an AI feature, or a redesign — and an engineer will reply within one business day.
