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

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
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
- 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
- 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
- In office Monday, Wednesday, Friday
- Remote Tuesday and Thursday
