Director of Software & Product

SnapMagic
Redwood, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 12/11/2025 CLOSED ON 1/7/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Software & Product position at SnapMagic?

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:

  • 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 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

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.
