SnapMagic

Redwood City, US · Full-time · $200,000 – $250,000

About this role

SnapMagic is building the digital growth engine for the global electronics industry. Our platform already reaches 2M+ engineers annually, and we are scaling SnapMagic Copilot on a proprietary dataset of 10M+ components. This is a category-defining opportunity to lead product and engineering.

You will personally build and ship production-quality software until the motion is proven, operating in tight feedback loops with users. You own SnapMagic Copilot, including LLM workflows, training loops, evaluation, and recommendation systems. You run weekly execution loops focused on shipped outcomes, not activity.

You will partner closely with the CEO on product direction and priorities while making pragmatic technical tradeoffs. Our team is passionate, low-ego, and fast-moving, operating with a high bar. We work hybrid — in office Monday, Wednesday, Friday; remote Tuesday and Thursday.

The role has two phases: first build personally and define the execution motion; then hire and lead a team that compounds velocity. Since our seed round, we’ve doubled revenue with a small team. The market is ready for a leader who can turn momentum into a fast, repeatable shipping machine.
