Job Description
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 provenYou will set the bar for speed and quality through example, system design, and executionYou will operate in tight feedback loops with users — shipping, learning, and iterating continuouslyYou will own outcomes, roadmaps, and metrics end to endThe role has two phases:
Phase 1: Build personally, define the product and execution motionPhase 2: Hire and lead a team that compounds velocityYou will: Ship code regularly and stay hands-on in core systemsOwn SnapMagic Copilot, including LLM workflows, training loops, evaluation, and iteration speedOwn recommendation and relevance systems and continuously improve them through usage dataScale a high-traffic platform and ads system under real production loadRun tight weekly execution loops focused on shipped outcomes, not activityPartner closely with the CEO on product direction and prioritiesMake pragmatic and deliberate technical tradeoffs in cases where speed and learning matter more than eleganceCommunicate clearly what shipped, what was learned, and what's nextWho we're looking forYou're comfortable being in the detailsYou actively test ideas in production and adjust based on real user behaviorYou care deeply about whether people actually use what you buildYou do the unglamorous work like clockwork: debugging, triage, instrumentation, iteration, metricsYou take feedback eagerly — from users, data, and teammates — and turn it directly into executionYou hold yourself to standards higher than anyone else willYou move fast where it matters, close loops, and identify and address drag quicklyYou make sound tradeoffs, prioritize well under ambiguity, and build systems that scaleWhat we offerCompetitive salary and meaningful equityMedical, dental, vision401(k) - non-matchingCommuter benefitsCatered lunches on in-office daysA passionate, low-ego, fast-moving teamHow we workIn office Monday, Wednesday, FridayRemote Tuesday and ThursdayIf you want to build a category, own software used by millions, and operate at a genuinely high bar, we'd love to talk.
