Director of Software & Product

Job Description

Snap Magic 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 Snap Magic 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.

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

• Ship code regularly and stay hands‑on in core systems
• Own Snap Magic 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

If you want to build a category, own software used by millions, and operate at a genuinely high bar, we’d love to talk.
