Build and ship software used by millions of engineers. Own product and engineering end-to-end, move fast, learn from real users, and turn momentum into a repeatable shipping machine.
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, ships relentlessly, 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 fast, 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.
Job requirements
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 longer than you’d like because that’s what building requires
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, close loops, and hate unnecessary blockers
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.
