Job description

SnapMagic is building the digital growth engine for the global electronics industry.


Our core platform (formerly SnapEDA) already reaches 2M+ engineers annually and is the default discovery layer for electronic components. We’re now scaling SnapMagic Copilot, built on a proprietary dataset of 10M+ components, serving as the discovery and demand layer for the global electronics industry.

This is a category-defining opportunity.

We are looking for someone who is deeply obsessed with the craft of building products — someone who cares about building scalable systems, shipping with momentum, and improves through rapid feedback from real users.

Since our seed round, we’ve doubled revenue with a small team operating at a very high bar. The demand is real. The market is ready. What’s missing is a product and engineering leader who can turn momentum into a repeatable shipping machine.

We’re looking for someone who has personally built and shipped complex systems at a fast-growing, VC-backed company and knows what it takes to scale from early adoption to sustained, reliable usage.

This is a builder role, not a delegator role:

  • You will personally build and ship production-quality software until the motion is proven

  • You will set the bar for speed and quality through example, system design, and execution

  • You will operate in tight feedback loops with users — shipping, learning, and iterating continuously

  • You will own outcomes, roadmaps, and metrics end to end

The role has two phases:

Phase 1: Build personally, define the product and execution motion
Phase 2: Hire and lead a team that compounds velocity

You will:

  • Ship code regularly and stay hands-on in core systems

  • Own SnapMagic Copilot, including LLM workflows, training loops, evaluation, and iteration speed

  • Own recommendation and relevance systems and continuously improve them through usage data

  • Scale a high-traffic platform and ads system under real production load

  • Run tight weekly execution loops focused on shipped outcomes, not activity

  • Partner closely with the CEO on product direction and priorities

  • Make pragmatic and deliberate technical tradeoffs in cases where speed and learning matter more than elegance

  • Communicate clearly what shipped, what was learned, and what’s next

Who we’re looking for

  • You’re comfortable being in the details

  • You actively test ideas in production and adjust based on real user behavior

  • You care deeply about whether people actually use what you build

  • You do the unglamorous work like clockwork: debugging, triage, instrumentation, iteration, metrics

  • You take feedback eagerly — from users, data, and teammates — and turn it directly into execution

  • You hold yourself to standards higher than anyone else will

  • You move fast where it matters, close loops, and identify and address drag quickly

  • You make sound tradeoffs, prioritize well under ambiguity, and build systems that scale

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity

  • Medical, dental, vision

  • 401(k) – non-matching

  • Commuter benefits

  • Catered lunches on in-office days

  • A passionate, low-ego, fast-moving team

How we work

  • In office Monday, Wednesday, Friday

  • Remote Tuesday and Thursday

If you want to build a category, own software used by millions, and operate at a genuinely high bar, we’d love to talk.
