Head of Engineering
snapmagic · 60 days ago
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 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
-
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 where it matters, close loops, and identify and address drag quickly
-
You make sound tradeoffs, prioritize well under ambiguity, and build systems that scale
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.
