About SnapMagic

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're looking for a product-minded engineering leader who loves building. Someone who gets energy from shipping products, solving hard technical problems, and using AI to help a small team move faster than companies many times its size.

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 hands-on engineering leader who can turn momentum into a repeatable shipping machine.

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

What you'll own

This is a builder role, not a delegator role.

• Personally build and ship production-quality software until the product and execution motion are proven.

• Set the bar for engineering quality, speed, and technical decision-making through your own execution.

• Own SnapMagic Copilot, including LLM workflows, agents, orchestration, evaluation, and rapid iteration.

• Build and improve AI-powered automation that increases engineering leverage across the business.

• Own recommendation and relevance systems, continuously improving them through real customer usage.

• Scale a high-traffic platform and advertising system under production load.

• Partner closely with the CEO on product strategy, roadmap, and technical priorities.

• Make pragmatic technical tradeoffs where learning and speed matter more than perfection.

• Run tight execution loops focused on shipping, learning, and improving—not activity.

• As the company grows, hire and lead a high-performing engineering team while remaining deeply technical.

Who we're looking for

• You've built and shipped products in a fast-paced, VC-backed startup where speed, ownership, and ambiguity were part of the job.

• You're a strong full-stack engineer who still loves writing production code and wants to remain hands-on.

• You have experience building AI-powered products using LLMs, agents, orchestration frameworks, automation, or adjacent technologies.

• You naturally look for ways to automate repetitive work and use AI to help a small team accomplish more.

• You care deeply about product outcomes and customer adoption—not just elegant code.

• You're comfortable doing whatever the product needs most, whether that's debugging production issues, improving infrastructure, shipping features, or tackling technical debt.

• You make sound technical tradeoffs, prioritize well under ambiguity, and know when to optimize for speed versus scalability.

• You want to build an exceptional product and engineering organization—not just manage one.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Medical, dental, and 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
