Head of Engineering

This is a category-defining opportunity. 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. 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 What 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
