About Us
Overwolf builds a platform for creating and distributing apps that sit alongside PC games. Rather than making games itself, the company focuses on the tooling, frameworks, and distribution that let third party developers build companion experiences such as in game overlays, guides, stats trackers, and other utilities that enhance how people play. The problem it solves is practical and technical, it provides a safer, more standardised way to build game adjacent software that can reach players at scale, without every developer having to reinvent the basics of integration, updates, and delivery.
Its users are primarily two groups. One is game players who install these companion apps to improve their gameplay, discover content, or personalise their experience. The other is developers and studios who want to build apps for popular games and get them in front of an established audience. In that sense, Overwolf operates at the intersection of consumer gaming and developer platforms, with a product that needs to work reliably for end users while also being attractive and well supported for the developers building on top of it.
Within the SaaS ecosystem, Overwolf looks more like a developer platform and marketplace than a typical business software company. It has platform dynamics, including APIs, SDKs, distribution, and policies that shape what can be built and how it reaches users. That brings platform responsibilities too, such as trust and safety, performance, compatibility across games and PC setups, and the ongoing challenge of balancing the needs of players, developers, and game publishers.
People who thrive at Overwolf are likely to enjoy technically demanding products with a strong focus on developer experience and real world performance. Engineering roles may involve desktop and client side development, backend services, platform infrastructure, and working with SDKs and integrations. Product, design, and data roles will suit people who like building tools for creators as well as consumer facing experiences, and who are comfortable making decisions with multiple stakeholder groups in mind. Given the gaming context, an understanding of player behaviour, community dynamics, and the realities of operating at scale in a consumer environment is likely to be valuable.
For job seekers, the appeal is the chance to work on a platform that sits behind a large ecosystem of apps and creators, where small product changes can have wide impact. It is also a place where you can develop skills that transfer across modern SaaS and platform companies, such as building developer tooling, running marketplaces, and operating reliable services for a high volume user base. If you are motivated by enabling others to build, and you like products that combine consumer expectations with platform discipline, Overwolf is the kind of environment that could be a strong fit.
